Ecodomus installs renewable technologies for commercial, community and domestic projects.

Photovoltaic Panels

• Through the Feed In Tariff (FIT) introduced earlier this year in April, you can earn money for the energy produced on your property.
• For Solar Photovoltaic (PV) projects, Energy Companies will pay you 21.0p* for every unit of electricity you generate, and a further 3p for each unit you don't use and export back to the National Grid.
• These payments are tax free and are guaranteed for 25 years
• They are inflation linked too, and will be adjusted each year to match the Retail Prices Index, to protect your return on investment.
• You will save money through reduced electricity bills as well.

* Based on retrofitting a Solar Photovoltaic System of less than or equal to 4kW onto an existing and eligible property.  Additional costs may be incurred.

Is my Property Eligible?

Most propoerties in the UK are suitable for PV installations, but the following may apply:

• Is your roof large enough?

A roof that is 16m² within 90° of South, and which receives sunlight for most of the day, would be ideal.

• Do you need Planning Permission?

Most buildings don't need planning permission to have PV panels installed on them.  If you live in a listed building, Conservation Area or a World Heritage Site, however, there may be restrictions.  We can give you expert advice on the best possible options in these circumstances.

Solar Thermal Panels

Ecodomus can also provide Solar Thermal panels for your roof.

Solar Thermal (ST) or Solar Hot Water (SHW) panels use the Sun's energy to directly heat water, which you can then use in your home.  In fact, an installation of SHW panels can provide you with as much as 70% of your hot water requirements, and all of it during the summer.

To take advantage of this free energy most efficiently, you will most likely need the following:

• Around 5m² of roof space which is mostly unshaded during the day, and is within 90° of South

A Solar Hot Water system installation can also save around 0.75 tonnes of CO₂  each year from a reduction of burning fossil fuels.
