The benefits of solar PV
- Reduced electricity bills
- Get paid for the electricity you generate:the government’s Feed-In Tariffs pay you for the electricity you generate, even if you use it.
- Cut your carbon footprint: A typical home solar PV system could save over a tonne of carbon dioxide per year – that's more than 30 tonnes over its lifetime.
- Eligible for the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme
A long-term programme providing financial incentives for the generation and use of renewable energy sources
- Sell electricity back to the grid: if your system is producing more electricity than you need, or when you can't use it, you can sell the surplus back to the grid.
