• Solar power is on the increase with record
  numbers of new installations last year. If you
  needed convincing that solar is the way to go
  then look no further than the practical Germans
  and their lead in this field.
• On one particular summers day last year the
  combined solar panels in Germany created just
  over half the total electricity supply for the
  country. This is a country which leads the world
  in the number of solar panel installations.
• It also has a similar climate to the UK so the
  belief that solar panels are only useful in hot
  countries is a myth. In fact, photovoltaic or PV
  panels work when the sun may be hidden behind
  cloud as long as they are facing the sun.

• This is the reason they should ideally be fitted
  facing due south although there is some tolerance
  allowed either east or west.
• For an average three bed home the initial outlay
  on solar panel installation will be recouped in
  about eight years. This means you should be
  fairly certain that you will not be moving during
  that time although many estate agents reckon
  houses with solar panels can attract a small
  premium compared with similar houses in the same
  street.

• If you have solar panels fitted it therefore
  makes sense to keep all the paperwork including
  all the bills or at least a record perhaps on
  your computer to show any prospective buyer.
• If you have the money available then dont put it
  off now is a good time to find PV solar panels
  installers near you and get a quote. With
  Contact-Solar there are no pushy salesman and the
  enquiry and quote can all be done by email.
• Before you consider fitting solar panels you will
  need to check a few points. The first is the
  direction your roof faces and that ideally should
  be south or no more than thirty degrees east or
  west of that direction.

• There must be no shade during the day on the roof
  from other taller structures such as buildings or
  trees. To be eligible for the feed-in tariff your
  property must have an EPC certificate that is
  automatic with all properties built after 2007
  but if an older house it should be obtained as
  soon as possible.
• There are some rogues in the business and several
  companies that employ door to door salesmen. The
  really professional companies do not need to sell
  this way and many get all the work they can
  handle by word of mouth.

• When installing a system there are always plenty
  of neighbours interested in whats going on and
  asking for more information. Its often the case
  that when the first house in the street gets
  solar panels others will follow.
• The feed-in tariff scheme whereby excess
  production from your solar panels is bought back
  by the grid can only be sought with an MCS or
  Micro generation Certificate Scheme so make sure
  your installers are qualified to give you this.
