Solar PV - They Think It's All Over

With the well publicised changes in the Feed in Tariff scheme for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations still exhibiting some uncertainty, Ayrshire firm Solar and Wind Applications (www.solarwindapplications.com) are seeing a sustained interest in the technology. Having been active in the sector since 2002, they have seen numerous ups and downs as a result of Government alterations to funding arrangements – and this time it is no different.

Customers approaching us for installations have realised that not only are the financial returns available still very attractive, but also a wise move to secure themselves against rising electricity costs in the future. Both domestic and commercial installations are proving highly beneficial to the end user's interests – whether financial or environmental.

The way in which our customers use their systems is the most important factor to them achieving the greatest returns, both financially and environmental. We exclusively offer Coolpower Products' (www.coolpowerproducts.com) Energy and Microgenerator Manager (EMMA) as part of our installations – this ensures you use almost all of the power you generate, saving importing power at a significant (and rising) cost per unit, where you would normally give it away to your power company for only 3p per unit. Usually this power is used to

heat water, meaning your PV system doubles as a solar thermal system...for a fraction of the cost!

Solar and Wind Applications, alongside Coolpower Products, are in the process of partnering with British Gas to provide numerous installations of EMMA systems as part of an electrical network study. As a side effect, the recipients of the units will receive an upgraded renewable energy system which will boost their returns significantly.

For more information, please get in touch with Solar and Wind Applications and we will be happy to help you achieve your renewable energy goals.
