From industrial giants to local businesses, companies are increasingly environmentally responsible. The 10kWp system we installed on the Herts Young Mariners Base in Hertford provides them with income and savings of nearly £4,000 plus sets a fantastic example to all the young people who come to the centre.
A sound financial decision
The Feed in Tariff for PV installations up to 10 kWp guarantees 16.8p for every kWh generated. This produces a sizeable income stream from your investment, indeed, the cost of the installation could be recovered in 10 to 15 years.
Energy Performance certificates
Commercial premises that are offered for sale or for let must have an Energy Performance Certificate to show to prospective tenants or purchasers. Government Buildings, Retail Units, Offices, Shops, Industrial Units and New Build Homes all have to comply. Solar systems help to improve these ratings and make buildings more attractive to new occupiers.
New Building – Code for Sustainable Homes
The Code aims to achieve a step-change in environmental performance of new UK homes. It sets out a clear timetable to reduce carbon emissions from new build housing to Zero by 2016. We can advise you on how to maximise the potential of a solar energy system on a prospective or existing development and help to achieve the current mandatory targets for reduction of carbon emissions.
