I'm aware that some kind of grants previously existed but don't know what they were?They obviously didn't do a good enough job did they.
I agree they should. Energy companies saying generation is expensive but solar wind and hydro not, we should be doing more with resources our island has imoI'm aware that some kind of grants previously existed but don't know what they were?
I think they might have been by council area rather than nationally available but let's be honest, whatever was previously available wasn't very well publicised.
We may not have been in a position to take advantage of anything previously anyway but are enquiring now due to an inheritance, so why aren't there any incentives now?
Facing a cost of living crisis, energy prices rocketing, warm-banks being set-up, talk in the press of potential blackouts etc.
Surely the government should be encouraging as much sustainable/"green energy" investment as possible?
Oh yeah. Fossil fuel companies just happen to also donate to the Tory party![]()

Energy prices are flying up and the best they can do is effectively a 5% discount on renewables. I’d say a much bigger incentive is needed. Something that makes them affordable for most would be a good startIt’s amazing how people criticise without even bothering to see what’s out there.

0% VAT on Solar Panels and Heat Pumps (February 2025)
It is the best time to find offers and invest in renewable and energy efficient measures for your home as the Chancellor of UK announces that there will be no VAT on these products for the next 5 years starting April 2022!www.greenmatch.co.uk
No VAT on renewables at the minute…how big do you need the incentive to be?
Money saved will be needed to repair your damaged roof under their weight!I'm getting a system fitted today, has anyone local had them fitted and have you felt the benefits over time.
Obviously December isn't the best time of year and I'm not expecting to generate anything until Feb.
A competent installer does not fit a system that is to heavy for your roof.Money saved will be needed to repair your damaged roof under their weight!
Knocked my estimated annual electricity consumption back by about 30% so far plus not using gas for hot water in summer months, still generating at a reduced rate in this sunny weather.I'm getting a system fitted today, has anyone local had them fitted and have you felt the benefits over time.

I've just had GEC solar out. Have you and @safc...hic! had their systems installed? Any feedback on how you found them?That sounds very similar to a quote we've just had. Nothing to do with direction of the roof, I'm not convinced by the sales pitch tbh.
Waiting for an appointment with GEC who fitted @safc...hic! system as a comparison.
I've had two quotes. First said around 7 weeks, second 7-8.How long are folk waiting for installs at the moment?
I'm waiting for some company to call me back. If OPs experience with GEC is positive I'll give them a try too.

Who have you gone with?They are ready to go with mine once they get all the optimisers.. it's the issue they are having at present.. all the other gear sitting in the stores
Canny hopefully something for everyoneI've had two quotes. First said around 7 weeks, second 7-8.
If I go with GEC apparently there's a referral payment scheme![]()
Who did you use mate?Sounds a bit steep, mine is 4.2kw with battery for £8,800.
The difference between quotes was crazy like, one was over £16k for the same set up.
Yeah at least two units. Possibly threeCanny hopefully something for everyone
7-8 weeks is good.
Are you looking to get a battery?
Yeah at least two units. Possibly three
Slightly off topic, but wet underfloor heating is incomparably better than electric underfloor heating. For the avoidance of doubt, wet underfloor heating is class and electric underfloor heating is rubbish.We use most of our leccy on an evening so makes sense to me.
I'm looking to run some underfloor heating on mine too. Either wet from solar heated water or electric. It's a fairly large area. No idea what battery capacity I need mind.
I'm hoping these people can work all that out for me.
Fraction of the cost to run too..Slightly off topic, but wet underfloor heating is incomparably better than electric underfloor heating. For the avoidance of doubt, wet underfloor heating is class and electric underfloor heating is rubbish.
