It has been a turbulent few months for the Solar PV industry. If you’re having trouble keeping up with the latest news on the government’s feed-in tariff, you’re not alone. As there’s a general lack of clarity on the current situation, and plenty of speculation, we thought we’d take a moment to bring you up to date and explain how the changes are likely to affect you.

After weeks of speculation and uncertainty the Comprehensive Feed-in Tariff (FiT) document has been finally been published. Today, shortly after 10.30am, the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) revealed what lies ahead for solar power in the UK.
As expected DECC has decided to cut the FiT rate for solar PV installations by more than 50 percent. The proposals, subject to consultation, would introduce new tariff rates for schemes up to 4kW to 21p/kWh – from the current 43.3p/kWh. In order to keep a balanced rate of return systems between 4kW and 250kW will also be reduced.

Photovoltaic solar panels (PV) come in many different forms. Do you know your polycrystalline from your mono, or thin film from hybrid?
The answer, unless you are in the industry is in all likelihood no.
There are a number of different types of solar photovoltaic systems available. Each do the same thing; convert solar radiation into electricity, but have different characteristics and prices.

The rates of return on the feed-in tariff are now much more generous than was planned and a cut is due (although there is still much debate on how much that cut will be). The date for the proposed reduction has always been 1st April 2012, although rumours are rife that this timescale could be moved forward.

The Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) scheme is a Government scheme which gives money to householders to help them buy renewable heating technologies. It will run in a similar way to the Boiler Scrappage Scheme whereby customers will get a fixed payment voucher for installing a renewable heating device.

Work has begun on a 16kW ground source heat pump installation for Tackley village hall in Oxford.
Funded through the Green Streets programme, a £2 million community based scheme from British Gas, this is the first ground source heat pump to be installed under the programme.
We are delighted to announce that Therma Rise is now an approved installer of heat pumps, solar thermal hot water and solar photovoltaic systems under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme is an independent scheme that certifies installers and products against robust criteria. It is supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and is recognised internationally as a quality assurance scheme.
This revolutionary unit can produce output temperatures of up to 90°C and due to the CO₂ refrigerant produces these outputs with a “zero global warming potential“.
