PONTYCLUN
A bright investment with Elltec Solar
With energy regulators warning of
a 20% hike in electricity prices by
2020, there has never been a better
time to turn to solar power.
Richard Ellis of Pontyclun-based Elltec
Solar, accredited installers of solar
photovoltaic micro-generation power
to homes and businesses across the UK,
says the benefits of using solar panels
for electricity can be significant, both
in terms of reducing energy bills and
your carbon footprint.
"Elltec have been working with solar power for more than five years with clients as diverse in size and style as Bangor University, St David's Art Gallery and Skomer Island. We know first-hand the benefits to be gained," he says. "It doesn't matter whether you have a small house, a stable, a school or a stately home, you will still see your bills reduce by around one third."
"Solar power is a very good investment. With an average yearly return of around 16%, the system will pay for itself within eight to ten years. It generates power as soon as dawn rises and, the more intense the light, the more is generated. South and west Wales have the second highest sun irradiance levels in the UK (especially around the coastline), second only to Cornwall and the south west.
It will increase the value of your
property, too. And, as well as offering
clean, green energy, solar panelling is
silent and unobtrusive, whatever the
design of your building. Prince Charles
is considering it for Clarence House,
a Grade II-listed building," says Richard.
What's more, the Government's Feed in Tariff (FIT Scheme), available from April, offers incentives for those who instal solar PVs on their homes. These include cashback on the electricity they generate - even if they use some of that energy themselves - and a guaranteed payment for any surplus electricity exported to the grid."
The benefits of PV solar electricity panels are:
■ A vast reduction in electricity bills
■ A clean, renewable, source of micro
generation electricity
■ Adds value to property
■ Works all year round during daylight
hours
■ No maintenance
■ Quick installation
