Working in partnership with Photon, we recently completed an installation of a 98kw system on the pantile roof of the Anglesea Heights Nursing Home.

With round the clock occupancy their electricity usesage is higher than most, this system will have a significant impact on their energy bills as they are such a high user.

Special consideration was taken during the installation to respect the residents, keeping noise to a minimum and observing Health and Safety guidelines.

We have installed a 6kw system at The Lodge, Salhouse
on a slate roof using solar limpits and 265w Canadian Solar modules
This array has some shading so the end result here will be a production of around 5000 units of electricity per year. Salhouse Lodge is a busy place especially in summer so they will use virtually all of that. So that’s 5000 units of electricity per year that they won’t have to buy.

Feed In Tariffs for 2016

0-10kW  4.39p per unit

10-50kW 4.59p per unit

50-150kW 2.7p per unit

Rates apply from 8th February 2016

DNO approval will be required for installations over 4kW

There is now no FIT for additions to existing installations

An EPC of D or higher is now required before the installation of Solar PV for the FIT payment

Feed-in-Tariff rate to 31 March 2015

0 to 4 kilowatts  – 13.88 pence per unit

4 to 10 kilowatts – 12.07 pence per unit

10 to 50 kilowatts – 11.71 pence per unit

The next feed-in-tariff rate reduction is due on the 31 March 2015.  The reduction will be an incremental 3.5 per cent of the current rate for under 4 kilowatt systems.

For eligible installations with an eligibility date on or after 1st January 2014 and before 1^st April 2014
