Having a solar PV system installed on your property is definitely a step in the right direction when you are concerned about rising energy costs and when you want to invest your money to get a good return better than the banks will provide. And the fact that you’re on this page right now, means you are serious about the idea and would like to familiarize yourself with the entire process. As we have installed over 1100 Solar panel systems around the country, we can assure you that no two properties domestic or commercial are the same. There are many things that need to be considered and taken into account, to ascertain just how much of a return you will make on your investment and what reductions in your energy bills you can sensibly expect long into the future.

Energy performance certificates are essential for all Solar PV installs to allow for the eligibility of the full FIT rate. If you purchased your home after 2007, you most probably already have one of these certificates. The (EPC) rates your home or business for the energy efficiency on a scale from A – G. It also provides valuable information on how to improve the energy efficiency, and what level you would attain if you put the suggested measure in place. These measures can include anything from replacing your lights with L.E.D light-bulbs and loft insulation, right the way through to cavity wall insulation and heat recovery systems. The cost of an EPC can range from £50 – £100 (domestic), but this will be included if you choose to have an install done by Carbon Legacy.
