Solar Power Investment of the Future
First thing first
If you are planing a solar installation be aware because anybody can fit solar panels and because it is new and there is alot of money to be made alot of cowboys are jumping on the band wagon.
In order for you to qualify for the government renewable cashback tariff Your installer and there products must be MCS ACCREDITED and they must be a member of REAL.
MCS ACCREDITATION
The MCS is an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme which demonstrates to it's customers that the company is committed to meeting rigorous and tested standards. It is Similar to the Gas Safe Register, (corgi) the MCS gives the accredited installer a mark of competency and demonstrates to the customers that we can install to the highest quality every time.
Cashback only if the equipment and the installer have been inspected and accredited to UK Microgeneration Scheme Standards
REAL Assurance
The aim of the REAL Assurance Scheme is to ensure that consumers wishing to install a small-scale heat power generation unit for their homes have the confidence to make an informed choice
REAL members are firms selling or leasing small-scale renewable or low carbon heat or power generation unit who have agreed to comply with the REAL Assurance Scheme Consumer Code. This Code is backed by the Office of Fair Trading as part of its self-regulation initiative, the Consumer Codes Approval Scheme.
REAL also insures you the customers deposit at no cost to yourself for 120 days if your installation is not fitted by then you can contact real and have it extended for a small fee but in reality any installer should be able to fit your installation well within that time.

TARIFFS
How the Tariffs Work for You
A TYPICAL HOME USES 4,500
kwh (units) OF ELECTRICITY
ANNUALLY. A 2 kwp PV
SOLAR SYSTEM WOULD
GENERATE AROUND 1700 kwh
A YEAR. INSTALLED ON AN
EXISTING HOUSE THE
GENERATION TARIFF WOULD
BE 41.3P PER kwh
Generation Tariff 41.3p x No of
Units 1700 = Tariff Income
£702.10
Annual Income from tariff would
be £702.10
A typical household would use
around 50% and export 50%
Units generated 1700 X %
exported 50% = Exported units
850
Export tariff is 3p for every unit
exported back to the grid
Export units 850 X Export Tariff
3p = Export Income £25.50
Savings from electricity
produced, because you used
50% saving yourself 12p a unit
because you didn't have to buy
it
Units Used 850 X Average Cost
12p = Costs Saved £102
TOTAL BENEFIT
Tariff Income £702.10 + Export
Income £25.50 + Import Saved
£102 = TOTAL BENEFIT
£829.60
Not bad hey when your average
electric bill is around £1000 a
year.
