Solar Thermal Systems (sometimes called Solar Hot Water Systems) are one of the most cost efficient renewable energy resources available.

Solar Hot Water Systems convert light into heat, which in turn creates hot water for your home.

Utilising the sun's rays, they help reduce our consumption of conventional fossil fuels and reduce emissions of harmful CO2 gases. Solar Hot Water Systems make sense on both financial and environmental levels.

You can create up to 70% of your property's annual hot water requirements and receive grants of up to £400 towards the installation cost of a solar thermal hot water system.

Solar panels, or Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, use the sun’s energy to convert solar radiation into electricity.

PV is distinct from other kinds of solar energy in that it harnesses the sun's light, rather than its heat therefore making it suitable for our Northern hemisphere.

By utilising the Feed In Tariff, you can use a PV system to not only cut your electricity bills, but to also pay you money back for ALL the electricity your system produces at a fixed rate of 43.3 pence per unit.

This means that a standard 2.035 kWh system would realise income and savings of over £900 per year and would pay for itself in less that 10 years.

Solar Electric PV

The Feed In Tariff (FIT) is a scheme designed to reward customers who invest in a Solar Electric PV System.

The Government has set in stone a 25 year payment plan paying 41.3 pence per kiloWatt for ALL electricity that your system produces, even if you use all that electricity yourself.

The FIT is increasing from 1st April 2011 to 43.3 pence in line with the Retail Price Index, an increase of 4.8%.

We are delighted to launch our Homeco Energy For Schools Programme.

The scheme offers the chance for a limited number of schools to benefit by having a solar PV system installed completely free of charge.

Help your school by dramatically reducing electricity outgoings, take a lead in reducing your carbon footprint and help educate tommorow's generation about the benefits of renewable energy.
