Solar Panels Industry Sees Boom in Sales
Posted in Uncategorized on February 14th, 2012 by admin – Be the first to commentHomeowners wishing to install solar panels in their home are being urged to take advantage of the higher solar panel grants before the government cuts the popular pay back scheme.
Solar Panels Industry Expects ‘Gold Rush’…
Originally, the government had planned to cut the current Feed-In Tariff in half in December, however a ruling at the Court of Appeal ensured the cut would not come until later this year. At the moment, the scheme pays homeowners 43.3p per kilowatt of electricity generated through solar panels from the sun. This will be cut to just 21p for any homeowner who installs their solar panels after March this year.
The government is appealing that the rate currently paid is too high and a waste of taxpayers’ money. Whilst it may be bad news for the government, there is rejoice for homeowners who have installed solar panels since December or who plan to do so.
The cost of solar panels installations has dropped dramatically since 12th December making an installation a lot more affordable for the average homeowner. Fallen prices make it even easier for homeowners to achieve returns on investment and customers can enjoy a shorter payback period.
Any homeowner looking to install solar panels in their homes and benefit from the higher solar panel grants can compare prices on various solar panels sites, Solar Panels Prices, for example, offers its customers three free, no obligation quotes from MCS registered suppliers.
