Is Your Home Suitable for Solar Panels UK?
No one would argue that the United Kingdom isn’t exactly known for its bright, sunny weather. If it was often sunny, we wouldn’t all head off to Spain to enjoy sunny weather on holiday. However, there are plenty of UK homes which can benefit from PV solar panels UK and enjoy electricity generated from a renewable resource and payment from the feed-in tariff.
Is your home suitable for solar panels UK? First, you must own the property to be able to give permission for an installation. Next, your roof must face in a southern direction, southeast or southwest is also fine. A solar panel installation will require at least a 3 metres x 4 metres free space on the roof. If your home meets these requirements, it is likely a good candidate for solar panels UK.
Lastly, you will need to find fully qualified & MCS certified solar panel installers to give you cost estimates and verify that your home is a suitable candidate. Only solar panels UK installed by MCS certified solar panel installers will qualify you for the feed-in tariff. Despite the drop in paymants for installations after December 12th, 2011, the feed-in tariff is still a good deal, only now it will likely be homeowners who truly care about renewable energy who will be installing PV solar panels and generating their own, renewable energy, not those looking to make money off the feed-in tariff.
