Solar for investment

How does it work?
Solar PV panels generate DC electricity which is converted to AC, the same voltage as your home. You are paid for all of the electricity produced regardless of whether it is used in the home or sent out to the National Grid. The rate paid for the units generated is 21p plus half of 3.1p = 22.55p. This is about double the amount that you pay for electricity.

The payments are made directly to your bank because of the 25 year contract that you have with the power company. The contract ensures that the rate increases by the Retail Prices Index (RPI) each year for all 25 years. These are guaranteed payments.

Even better than this incredible financial benefit is the added bonus that as the electricity is produced at your home you can use as much of it as you can without any payment. This should have the effect of reducing your annual electricity bill by approximately 30% per annum. Factor in increasing electricity prices and the real returns are even higher than those quoted.
