There is massive publicity at the present about free solar panels. Certain homeowners who qualify can have systems fitted for no outlay and no ongoing cost.
The system will provide totally free electricity during daylight hours slashing fuel bills by over 50% in many cases. This figure can actually increase with simple lifestyle changes.
But before you start counting the pounds, make sure you are eligible by checking that you pass the criteria listed below:
1. Homeowner- You have to own the property where the free are to be fitted. You must be able and have the authority to complete the agreement for the installation itself.
2. Mains Electricity- You must be connected to mains electricity. This will allow the electricity to be fed back into your property, be monitored on a metering system and any unused units be fed back into the national grid. Both standard post pay billing and pre-payment meters are acceptable.
3. South-Facing Property- The property for the siting of the free solar must have a South-facing roof. This will allow the maximum production of solar energy to give you the best possible savings and the investor will see the best possible return on their investment.
4. Unshaded Roof Space- Your roof must be free from any shading from trees or other buildings. This will ensure continuous and maximum energy production. Any shading will cause a dramatic drop in the efficiency of the whole panel array and at certain times could cause the whole system to stop generation entirely.
5. 20 Square Metre Roof Space- A system will anything from 2 kilowatt up to a maximum 4 kilowatt. 4 kilowatt is the largest capacity available to receive full benefits for a domestic roof. This will require a minimum of 10 panels to a maximum of 20. At around 2 metres square for each unit, you can see the area required. The bigger the roof area, the more panels can be installed and the more potential savings can be seen.
If you and your property fit all the above criteria, you may well qualify for free solar panels. You will need to follow a simple registration process and then find a suitable investment group or installer.
But you need to hurry as the scheme could be dropped at any time. There was a recent massive reduction in the feed in tariff which has made many investors pull out of the market. There are still several strong groups left but their budgets are not infinite and you need to apply now.
