Solar Energy Uk

Rene Said:

has anyone living in uk got a grant for converting to solar energy?

We Answered:

B & Q are advertising that one is available.
We got a Grant for installing a Sinkerator (waste disposer in sink).
Had solar panels put on the roof a month or so ago and not used any power for heating water since - even with the overcast skies and rain, the water is way up to temperature before we shower in the morning. I think the system is called "SMART energy" if anyone is interested. Got to spend the kids inheritance somehow!

Florence Said:

What grants are available to make the home more energy efficient?Ie solar/wind usage.Live in UK?

We Answered:

Try the Carbon Trust. Also try your local authority. I've heard that the singlemost effective thing you can do to improve the energy efficiency of your home is to improve the insulation, and I know our local authority will give grants for that.

How Much Does Solar Energy cost in The UK?

We Answered:

The energy costs nothing. The equipment required to make it go, is really expensive. The equipment required to make it practical is obscenely expensive.

Elmer Said:

Solar Energy?

We Answered:

The basic principles that make solar work haven't changed. The methods used to manufacture and install solar panels have greatly improved. It is still costly so it will take some time before you make your money back. They also require some ongoing cleaning and maintenance. It is still a better option than burning fossil fuels for the long term.

Solar energy in the UK? You are joking right, we hardly get enough sunshine to bother.

Now Wind turbines would be a better investment
