☀ The Benefits: Why Install Solar PV from BSG Solar 
For both cost saving and environmental reasons it's never been a better time to consider installing Solar PV panels at your home. Once installed, the electricity generated is almost entirely cost free and produces no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Solar PV is particularly effective at saving carbon because conventionally generated electricity has a very high carbon footprint. 
There are many good reasons for choosing solar PV: 
 
☀ Solar PV panels are easily fitted to most buildings, either retro fitted or new build 
 
☀ Solar PV is a reliable technology 
 
☀ Solar PV panels typically offer a 25 year performance warranty, and have a life expectancy of around 50 years 
 
☀ Solar PV systems can benefit from generous capital grants 
 
☀ Solar PV systems are simple and effective and, with rising electricity prices, are now more economically attractive than ever before. Please click here to see the detail of feed in tariffs. (link to tariff page)

Save CO2 and Money 
 
Each unit of electricity generated by a Solar PV system reduces the amount of CO2 that is emitted from conventional power stations. A 1kWp Solar PV system will save about 0.4 tonnes of CO2 per year. Over 25 years, a 1kWp system will generate over 18,000 kWh of electricity and save over 10 tonnes of CO2. 
 
While the CO2 savings of a Solar PV system are reasonably clear, the financial savings depend on a number of factors that are variable such as future increases in electricity prices. If current trends continue the savings to you will increase year on year. 
 
As from the 1st April 2010, all the electricity generated by PV systems will be eligible for feed-in tariff (FIT) payments under the Government's new Clean Energy Cashback scheme. The payment will be made for each unit (kWh) of electrity generated, even if it is used within your home. An additional rate is payable for surplus electricity that is fed into the national grid. The levels of payment vary depending on the type and size of the Solar PV system. Please click here to see the detail of feed in tariffs.
