Your Benefits

Earning money while contributing actively towards climate protection – that sounds too good to be true? We explain how it works:

Solar-generated electricity is ecologically friendly and does not release any climate-damaging emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2). A solar PV system designed for a typical British household can actually save around 1 tonne of CO2 each year. If you consider that a solar PV system lasts for about 40 years, it can save up 40 tonnes of CO2.

The sunlight is an inexhaustible energy source – and is free of charge. Once you pay for the installation, your start saving significant amounts on your electricity bills. A solar PV system can produce more than 50% of the electricity that your household needs. For example, if you turn on your washing machine or your dishwasher around noon, it will certainly make an impact. The impact for commercially used buildings such as hotels, factories or even office buildings where most of the electricity is spent during daytime is even higher.

Any additional electricity that is needed (for example at night time when the photovoltaic system does not work or simply when more electricity is needed) is automatically imported from the National Grid as usual. On the other hand, during daytime a typical solar PV system generates more electricity than your property needs.

Any solar-generated electricity that is not self-consumed is automatically exported to the National Grid. All of the solar-generated electricity, whether self-consumed or exported, is purchased at a Feed-in Tariff. In other words, you will be paid for all electricity you generate and you will save money from your current energy bills.
