The future of Solar PV remains bright

Recent changes to the UK Feed in Tariff have seen rates slashed by more than 50% however this has shaded the true facts that returns from solar PV are still robust. The UK still has some of the highest paying tariffs in Europe and although returns will be reduced from their current high, a farmer requiring large amounts of electricity to run his business will still realise 10% returns on a solar installation. An attractive rate of return compared to other investments.

The new rate will allow the Solar PV industry to continue at a more manageable and accountable rate, and companies like Hestia who have been operating for 20 years, will remain in business. Solar PV will enable a business to hedge against steeply increasing electricity bills whilst generating green energy. Commit to Solar PV now and secure one of the best paying tariffs in Europe for the next 25 years. Once you have installed, your rates are locked in and index linked. Solar is a technology which has a very bright future on the global renewable energy platform and still remains a profitable green investment.
