Rushcliffe Solar

Rushcliffe Solar started as a Transition West Bridgford campaign to encourage greater use of Photovoltaic home power generation systems in Rushcliffe borough, but we are always willing to answer an enquiry from other towns in the region. There are many buildings and entire streets with roofs which have a good view of the Sun and could produce power for the Grid and Income for the occupants. Hit the You Enquire tab to get a free appraisal of the photovoltaic potential for your building. Email: RushcliffeSolar@gmail.com
If you are thinking about it, do not be put off by recent changes in the tariff!: Since April 2012, the tariff was reduced to 21 pence/unit and ones on poorly insulated buildings get only 9 pence/unit. There have been further reductions since. Use the Expertsure calculator to check out your house and see if it is still worth doing.

Energy prices up? You benefit!

8th July 2011: Sitting in my room watching the Hail falling on West Bridgford, I am listening to the news. One of the items pushing the Murdoch Phone Hacking off the lead news stories is that of the rising of Gas and Electricity prices to be brought in, in August by Centrica. See the BBC News story. Prices are likely to rise by 16-19% on both main fuels.
Energy companies are competitive so if one announces it, the others are likely to follow (more quietly).
   If you have a Solar PV roof, you have the comfort of having a source of electricity, that is free, for significant portion of your consumption. Secondly, you will find the Feed in Tariff increasing in line with inflation, so your payments will increase next year.

  1. With energy prices sharply on the increase, solar PV has been put back into the spot light. Logic would have that sooner or later customers and businesses will make the switch over to a long term renewable energy solution such as solar panels.
