Intoduction to Solar Panels

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity by converting solar energy in electrical energy. This electricity can then be used for free or exported to the national grid. You get three main financial benefits from generating your own solar electricity:

Electricity bill savings – because you import less electricity from your suppler
Generation income – your incentive to generate green electricity
Export tariff – your incentive to export green electricity to the grid
The two income streams above, the generation tariff and the export tariff, are combined in a system called the Feed-in Tariff. The feed-in tariff (FiT) is a government scheme designed to support individuals and businesses who would like to invest in solar panels. It ensures that you get a premium rate when you sell your electricity to the grid.

There are of course many more benefits of installing solar panels incuding:

Reducing your carbon footprint Protecting yourself from future energy price rises
