Where to Find Solar Panel Installations in the UK
You can find numerous solar panel installations in the UK both a large commercial projects and at homes. There was a surge in solar panel installations after the 2010 Feed-in tariff was announced, where solar power was subsidized. Residential and commercial customers could generate solar power and sell it to their electricity supplier, even if they used the power themselves. After the initial cost of the installation was re-couped, an income could be earned for years.
An unexpected result of the Feed-in tariff was the large number of commercial projects using solar panels to generate electricity. In July 2011, the UK’s largest solar park was completed in Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire. Other large electricity generating projects using solar energy include Langage Solar Parkand the Marsten Solar Farm. A Feed-in tariff review recently made the large scale projects less attractive while leaving the solar panel installation on homes still very attractive.
Since there are still consumers who are not sure what the Feed-in tariff is about, you can expect to see more and more solar panels on rooftops on UK homes, especially in southern England where the sun is most favorable for generating solar power, as people realize their investment in renewable energy will earn them an income. Widespread media attention is generating calls everyday to electricity suppliers whose customers want to learn how to start generating and using solar energy.
