Quoting the Good Energy Newsletter it seems Marlow are making good progress with a solar initiative:
"Transition Town Marlow held a really successful public meeting last week to mark the official launch of their Solar 100 Project, which aims to get Marlow residents generating their own renewable heat and power."
"Our Microgeneration Team went along to the meeting to show our support and were thrilled to find the auditorium packed with residents who had all turned up to hear Philip, Willi and the rest of TTM explain how all participating residents would be rewarded with a 20% rebate for the cost of their installation if the community reached its target of installing 100 solar systems in 12 months."
"Hugo House, our Head of Generation Marketing, also delivered a presentation that offered advice on how to finance their solar project, and how the new feed-in tariffs would work."
This sounds like a great initiative, do you know if this is happening in other areas? I've been quite keen on getting some solar panels for my house, I've been saving but I haven't quite got enough money yet. A rebate would be amazing though, and might actually convince my wife that I'm not crazy for wanting to get solar panels.
ReplyDeleteHi Bradley, there is a wonderfully rewarding Tariff on the solar panels that is far better than the old grant system used to be in 2009. As a rule of thumb, its roughly 50p per kilowatt you generate, so that can be very good, annually! I like having hundreds of pounds deposited in my bank every few months! My greatest satisfaction though is that it has made the house Carbon Zero, the PV is equal to the annual heating and Hot water consumption.
