With the continued rise in energy costs, a solar panel installation will not only help you reduce your annual energy bills but it will also reduce your carbon footprint and environmental impact.

Solar Panels have decreased in cost and improved in efficiency over the last 10 years, and is now considered one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to generate free, green energy. With a shorter than ever payback time you can greatly reduce your energy costs and reliability on the mains grid.

Following the end of the UK Feed-in Tariff scheme in 2019, solar PV installations are now supported by the Government’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). For the latest payback rates from 1st October 2022 check with your energy supplier.

The SEG has been set by the Government for energy companies with 150,000 or more customers to offer a tariff and make payments for surplus energy fed back to the grid.

Northamptonshire, and particularly Northampton, is well suited to solar energy due to its lower than average rainfall / cloud coverage compared to many parts of the UK.
During these now longer hotter sunnier summers solar is also a great way of powering air conditioning, the two go hand in hand, generate your own electricity to power aircon when you most need it.

Moulton Solar are MCS certified installers

Why is being MCS registered important? Only MCS certified installers can register you to receive your SEG export payments.

Also Using a MCS certified installer ensures that equipment meets good standards of performance and that installers are technically safe and competent. 

Moulton Solar are also RECC certified installers

What is the average cost of installing solar panels in the UK?

Contact us to discuss what the costs, possibilities and energy savings are for you.

The energy bills crisis has prompted a big rise in demand for solar panels.

Just over 3,000 solar installations are being carried out every week, according to trade association Solar Energy UK, up from 1,000 a week in July 2020.

“More solar panels are being put on British roofs than ever before,” said Chris Hewett, chief executive of Solar Energy UK.

The fact that renewable energy helps protect the planet has always made it an attractive option.

Businesses in Northampton can benefit from investing in our solar power systems – it’s a clean green energy source that provides your business premises with free power and gives you a good marketing angle as you’re doing your bit to reduce your carbon footprint. Businesses operating in daytime hours are ideal as they may not need the additional cost of fitting batteries, as their electricity usage is during your solar generation hours

Even some older listed stone build properties can now have solar installed without having to jump through hoops.

Many business’ are now installing solar panels too on their premises to utilise the power during their daylight working hours and to reduce their carbon footprint while also improving their corporate image 

What is the energy price cap?

The energy price cap sets a maximum price that energy suppliers can charge consumers for each kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy they use. How much you pay depends on how much energy you use.

The cap is a government protection, calculated by Ofgem. At Ofgem we regulate energy suppliers, but we do not regulate the oil and gas production sector. The cap ensures that the profit energy suppliers make is capped. 

The energy price guarantee is a temporary additional measure to protect consumers from the recent significant increases in wholesale gas prices. The guarantee was put in place on 1 October 2022 and will last until April 2024. It means that consumers will pay less for their energy than they would under the price cap.

Installing solar panels will ensure the electricity you generate will help protect you against further price increases once the price cap is removed

For further information on the Energy Price Guarantee, please visit Energy bills support factsheet – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

Before your installation you may need a roof survey, or need to check the condition of old stone walls, contact Collingtree Stonemasons, also making pet memorial stones
