Renewable Energy for a greener future
Grants
Most Government Grants that were available for the installation of Renewable Energy Products have now been exhausted and are being replaced by the introduction of Feed In Tariffs from April 2010.
Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme (ECAs)
These enable a business to claim 100% first-year
capital tax allowances on their spending on qualifying plant and machinery. The ECA
schemes include: energy-saving plant and machinery;. water conservation plant and
machinery
Businesses can offset corporation tax against the capital cost of their investment in these technologies in the period during which they make the investment. This can deliver a helpful cash flow boost and a shortened payback period.
Feed In Tariffs
Details announced in February 2010 for feed-in tariffs are given below:
These tariffs are credited against your electricity bill for each kWh (kilowatt-hour) generated.
Any surplus power generated which is ‘sold back’ to the National Grid will be paid for at the rate of £0.03 per kWh.
These tariffs are guaranteed for at least 20 years (25 years for solar PV installations).
Tariffs will commence in April 2010.
To be eligible for Feed In Tariff MCS Installer and MCS certified products must be used . All our UK manufactured pv solar panels are MCS approved. We are MCS approved Installers.
