What Next - 12 Steps to Greener Energy

Step 1

Browse our website.

Step 2

Either complete our customer enquiry form, or give us a ring on 01691 688 527.

Step 3

Once we have received your enquiry form we will call you as soon as possible to arrange a site survey.

Step 4

Once we have got the details of your property we can give you an estimate of costs for your proposed system over the phone or you can use our unique ‘Find my property and get an estimate’ function on our website.

Step 5

If our competitive price is to your liking we will need to come out to your property and carry out a free site survey so as to qualify the assumptions we have made such as the condition of your roof and electrical system, site location, orientation, roof pitch and shading.

Step 6

Once the survey is completed, a firm quote can be generated and sent out to you by email.

Step 7

If the quote is acceptable, a 25% deposit is required of the total installation cost. You then have a seven day cooling off period.

Step 8

Your PV installation kit is ordered and an installation date agreed.

Step 9

Your installation is carried out.

Step 10

Your final invoice is presented for payment.

Step 11

Once final payment has been given, your MCS Certificate is generated by Greensphere Renewable Energy Ltd which allows you access the FIT scheme.

Step 12

Your warranties and user manual are issued for your system.

Your investment into Solar PV could generate between 9-11% returns, tax-free, index-linked and government backed for 25 years (thanks to the Feed-in Tariff), and you can either pocket that income or invest it into an ISA every year. You will also save hundreds on your electricity bills whilst reducing your carbon emissions.

We are convinced that there isn’t an ISA or investment currently available that will give you these returns. Take a look at the link to the following website which will calculate the likely 25-year return on an investment and enter the following figures (ignore the fact that these are shown in dollars – the end result is the same):

http://www.bankrate.com/free-content/savings/calculators/free-simple-savings-calculator/

Starting Balance	£13,000
Monthly deposit	0
Interest rate (lets set a generous 3%)	3%
Compounded	Quarterly
Number of Years	25

You will be given an annual figure which shows how your £13,000 will grow each year over the 25-year period, with an end result of some £14,219.11 over the 25-year period. Now compare this to a Solar PV array fitted to a South facing roof, at a 30 degree pitch. For the same £13,000 investment you should see an income of £52,086.74 over the same 25 year period.

Businesses of any size, schools, churches, community groups, not for profit organisations, in fact any organisation can benefit from Feed-in Tariffs. You will need to speak to your accountants regarding the tax benefits, but the FITs and savings would be as indicated above.

If you need any clarification on Feed-in Tariffs or how to maximise your use of them please call us on: 01691 688527.

Greensphere Renewable Energy Ltd as a Supplier/Installer of Solar PV systems are Micro-Generation Certification Scheme (MCS) accredited. This is essential and is a precondition to qualify for receiving the Government’s Feed-in Tariff (FITs) payments.

PLEASE NOTE: Installation by non-MCS will NOT qualify the solar PV system owner for the FITs
