Feed in Tariffs from 1st July announced

Ofgem has confirmed the Feed in Tariffs for solar photovoltaic technology for the period starting 1 July 2013 until 1 October 2013.

The new FiT rates for installations with an eligibility date on or after 1 July 2013 are:

Description FiT rate p/kWh
0-4kW 14.90
>4-10kW 13.50
>10-50kW 12.57
>50-100kW 11.10
>100-150kW 11.10
>150-250kW 10.62
>250kW-5MW 6.85
Stand-alone 6.85
Export tariff 4.64

 

Despite installations in the 0-50kW range falling short of the stated trigger levels, the 0-4kW, >4-10kW, >10-50kW will all degress by 3.5% as a result of the tariff reduction method that the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) included as part of the revised feed-in tariff.

Feed in Tariff rates from 1 May announced

Revised Feed in Tariff (FIT) rates were announced yesterday (1 March 2013) and will apply from 1 May to 30 June 2013.  Rates for installations up to 50kW remain unchanged, however have fallen slightly for larger installations.  This will therefore affect larger commercial and agricultural installations.  We therefore encourage those thinking of installations larger than 50kW to ensure that they understand the implications of this rate cut.  This is particularly important as project lead times are longer for these installations, notably where negotiations are required with the electricity distributor.

We will be alerting prospective customers to this change, however please contact us if you wish to discuss the impact of this rate change.

Solar Days at Energy Now Expo

Our stand at the two-day Energy Now Expo last week attracted a lot of attention and we have received plenty of enquiries as a result.  Thank you for all those who came to talk to us.  We are contacting all those who asked for a call and will be proceeding to survey, design and quotation soon.

Solar Days at Energy Now Expo

Solar Days will be exhibiting at the Energy Now Expo to be held at the Telford International Centre on 13 – 14 February 2013.  This is a two-day conference and exhibition designed to bring together farmers & landowners from all over the UK to help them explore and further understand the opportunities available in renewable energy types – wind, biomass, biofuels, biogas, ground source heating, hydro and solar.

The conference will focus on all aspects of renewable energy, while the exhibition will provide a showcase of more than 160 suppliers demonstrating the latest technologies.

Solar Days has seen a substantial increase in interest in solar photovoltaic installations from farmers and landowners and has undertaken numerous installations of solar arrays on farms.  We see this as an excellent opportunity to meet potential customers in our region.  See http://www.energynowexpo.co.uk/ for more information.  Entry is free and we look forward to meeting past and future customers on our stand.

Solar Days featured in The Farmer August 2012

The August edition of The Farmer features an article concerning potato farmer Charlie Brown. His operations involve high power usage by irrigation equipment and refridgerated storage.

Solar Days have installed a 135 solar panel array on the roof of the potato store on Charlie’s farm and he is now enjoying the benefits of free electricity production.
