to some commonly asked questions..
What are the key benefits of a PV system?
Once installed and commissioned, you own the system, having control of a long term free source of electricity that presently is exempt from VAT and price increases. You are not only saving money but actively
saving the environment we live in. As the system has no moving parts they require minimal maintenance,
have a long lifespan, generate no emissions and no noise - producing clean energy for eons to come.
What grants are available?
Government grants are available to help you cover the cost of a PV installation.
For domestic properties, the grant can be up to 50% of the total cost.
For the latest information please contact us. We can help process grant applications on your behalf.
Grants are on a first come first served basis.
How much electricity do I use?
We have a number of systems but an average 3 bedroomed house can typically use between 2500 to 4000
KwH (or units) per year. Which is around 10-12 KwH per day.
What is a Unit or KwH (Kilowatt Hour) of electricity?
Units are how you are billed for electricity.
These are examples of 1 unit or KwH.
A 1 bar electric fire running for one hour.
A 100w lightbulb running for 10 hours.
Do I need a south facing roof and how big does it need to be?
South, SW or SE facing is fine. A typical installation needs about 15-20Sq metres of roof space. Other roof
orientations are much less effective.
What will it generate?
We hope to survey your house and size the system PV and Wind to meet 85-90% of typical electricity needs.
Can I generate cash and electricity back to the grid, so my system is not wasted when the weather is good for generating power?
Yes. We can also help you to manage your relationship with your electricity supplier so you get the best
price for the electricity you generate.
What does a typical System cost?
It varies, by size and is dependant on our detailed survey.
