Why Kent Is Ideal For Solar Power

• If you live in Kent you will be well aware that
  counties lying in the South East of the country
  receive the most sunshine. It will be worth your
  while, therefore, to start thinking about solar
  panel installation Kent to meet most of your
  energy needs.
• You will achieve the best results if your panels
  can catch the optimum sun radiation each day.
  For this reason they are always positioned in a
  southerly direction wherever possible.
  South-west facing roofs are also ideal.
• You have to make sure that there are no
  obstructions in the way such as tall trees or
  buildings. However your installer will assess
  the situation and will let you know if your home
  is not suitable.

• In this position they should give you a
  consistent energy supply when the weather is
  ideal. To keep your panels working well at all
  times maintenance and correct operation is a must
  to keep sunlight capture to its maximum.
• The main concern is to keep panels clear of dust
  and debris. Most panels are tilted so that the
  rain can keep them clean. However, if you live
  in a dusty environment you could keep them clean
  by periodically wiping them with a soft cloth and
  then hosing them down. On no account should
  abrasive substances be used as they would scratch
  the shiny surface.
• With good care your panels should last 20 years
  or more but with advancing technology this figure
  is expected to increase in the near future.

• Although the Government has reduced the FIT or
  Feed in Tariff payments recently, the
  installation of panels still generates a useful
  income. Returns are also index linked so they go
  up if prices should increase.
• Although some of us may be put off by the
  lowering of payments, you need also to understand
  that panel prices have also fallen. Its all
  swings and roundabouts in this game.
• It is assumed that if you invest about 7,000
  Pounds in a typical 3.5kWh system it will net you
  about 600 Pounds per year if you live in the
  Midlands and you can expect a higher amount if
  you live in the Kent area. You will be pleased
  to hear that the returns you receive are exempted
  from tax by HMRC on domestic systems.

• You need to know that you are tied to a Feed in
  Tariff for twenty years as opposed to twenty five
  in the past. It is upgraded every April by the
  RPI which ensures that you take advantage of
  generous inflationary amounts.
• You should also know that only homes with an
  energy rating of D and above will be eligible for
  the maximum payment available. Homes that do not
  meet this requirement can expect vastly lower
  payments under this scheme.
• Modern photovoltaic panels work best when the sun
  is out all day, but they still generate
  electricity on cloudy days.
