Domestic Installations

At Green Planet we are expert solar panel installers and have a wealth of experience installing systems of all sizes; from large commercial systems down to the smallest domestic installations.

Ever since the introduction of the Feed-in-Tariffs (Green Energy Cashback Scheme) there has been an explosion of domestic solar PV installations as people rush to take advantage of the scheme.

Feed in tariffs are paid for each unit of electricity generated, even if you use it in your own house/building and regardless of whether or not you use that energy. In addition to this if you have any excess electricity it can be exported back to the grid and you will get an extra 4.5p/kWh. This export can be measured by having an export meter installed by your electricity supplier, but in most cases this will not be financially worthwhile and so a deemed export amount of 50% will be used.

New Tariffs:

• Guaranteed payments of 15.44p per kWh generated, whether you use it or not. Payments are index linked (RPI).
• Payments guaranteed for 20 years.
• Payments received are tax free.
• Guaranteed 4.5p per unit (kWh) of exported electricity.

16.0p rate is for systems up to 4kWp. Larger systems of between 4kWp and 10kWp the rate is reduced to 16.8p.

From 1st April 2012, domestic installations must be accompanied by an Energy Performance Certificate with a level D or above to show it has completed all Green Deal measures meaning you should only deal with expert solar panel installers such as Green Planet.  We will work with you and offer assistance in achieving the minimum grade D requirement.  Fail to meet these required standards and the feed-in tariff reduces to 7.1p/kWh of energy generated.

By working with an established fully accredited company such as Green Planet you can rest assured that the system installed will not only meet all the required legislation, but will also be configured in such a way as to guarantee the maximum possible yield.There are very few solar panel installers with our level of professionalism or experience.
