One of our customers from Alderminster was really keen to take advantage of our dual fuel system offer, and so we fitted them both a solar PV array as well as a solar thermal system. They were delighted at how we made the systems look so stylish, using in roof mounting systems and look forward to making huge reductions in they’re electricity and gas costs.

Dual fuel systems are ideal for people looking to improve the overall efficiency of they’re property, and with the RHI (feed in tariff scheme for renewable heating technologies) coming in later this year are hoping they’re system will pay for itself even quicker. Call us today to find out about our latest deals on dual fuel solar arrays.

Although it looks likely that the Government will appeal this decision at the Supreme Court, until the 3rd March when the tariff will definitely drop to 21p, people who have their installations registered would enjoy greater returns than ever due to reduced material costs. It seems that now more than ever is the best time to have a PV system installed.

This installation was comprised of 116 high efficiency 260w panels and two Solarmax 13MT inverters to change the electricity generated from AC to DC. As like most business OTS work more than six day a week at this site, therefore require a large amount of electricity at all times. With the rising cost of energy spiralling out of control, they realised that a deal such as the feed in tariff was too good an opportunity to miss. After all the nature of the feed in tariff is that the owner of the array is paid to save on they’re electricity costs. Now instead of receiving a bill from the electricity suppliers OTS are receiving a cheque.

With issues about the environment becoming more and more prominent, and major companies paying a far greater interest in they’re green credentials, business are always looking for ways to cut they’re energy costs whilst being concious of the environment. Solar PV arrays are the perfect way of achieving both of these goals.

This customer had completely gone off the idea of having a solar installation until they spoke with CSP’s expert design team, who demonstrated what an in-roof system can look like. By stripping the tiles back to the rafters underneath, and then re-building the roof to incorporate both mounting system and panels, the in roof system actually becomes part of the roof itself.

Installing an in-roof solar PV array is a complicated task which requires a great deal of skill and preparation, which is why all of our installers are roofers by trade, and have experience with systems such as these. 

This customer in Stratford on Avon expressed these views, and was very keen to explore any alternatives. Our designers found these stylish black panels which were not only more pleasing on the eye but were also within their budget requirements. This 2.4 kWh system is now producing the householders a well received tax free income as well as giving them plenty of free electricity to use.

As this meant that CSP’s installers were able to optimize the angles at which the array faced, the system now will be able to produce the maximum available annual yield.

Free standing arrays need to be capable of standing up to the most extreme atmospheric conditions, which is why we use the industry leading Schuco ground mounted framing system. This gives our customers piece of mind that they’re array will last the test of time.

They were delighted when we worked out they could potentially generate over 3000 kWh per          year, bringing them feed in tariff payments and savings of nearly £1,500, for 25 years!

By relying on the expertise of CSP’s design and installation team, the entire process was completely problem free. The customer was informed along the whole way as to what they’re options were, and once a suitable system had been agreed upon the works were promptly finished within a day.

This meant they could sit back, relax and watch they’re investment grow.

The establishment of the Forum comes just one year after a pro solar PV House of Commons motion attracted 285 MP signatories, including all the current Department of Energy & Climate Change Ministers, making it the second highest supported motion in the 2009 session. Plans for the Forum in 2010/11 include MPs visits to Sharp Solar’s PV manufacturing plant in Wrexham and regular MP briefings and educational visits to innovative solar PV installations. The new PRASEG Solar PV Forum group provides an important arena for Parliamentarians and the industry to consider the success of the Feed-In Tariff scheme going forward and to debate the numerous regulatory challenges still facing the technology in the UK.

Alan Whitehead MP, Chairman of PRASEG, said: “The Solar PV Forum is an important and vey timely addition to our work. We’re launching it at a time when interest in the technology among voters has never been greater. The Feed-in Tariff scheme will deliver hundreds of thousands of household solar PV installations by 2020, so it’s vital that Parliamentarians know more about the technology and it’s potential. I know from the experience of living with my own household system that solar PV can make a reliable, hassle free contribution to Government targets and to encouraging more and more people to contribute to the fight against climate change.”

Cotswold Solar Power has recently installed a solar PV system on a semi detached property in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.

This installation has dramatically reduced the energy requirements of the household, and combined with the feed in tariff payments it has provided an income as well as a saving.

This has been a welcome relief for the homeowners who were beginning to become tired at being constantly squeezed on energy costs. Now they can sit back, relax and enjoy the knowledge that they are no longer at the mercy of the energy companies, but instead have the energy companies pay them to generate carbon free electricity.

We installed a 1.67kw solar PV generator on the south facing roof of their property. The install itself took only three days to complete, and the homeowners were very impressed with our professional, tidy approach to the work, and even more so at how we took care of every aspect of the job.

Using our estimation software we predict that they could receive £560 a year in Feed In Tariff payments alone. With a young family and the energy requirements that this entails, washer, dryer, dishwasher etc, the homeowners stand to make close to a 50% saving on their electricity bill.
