The 43.3p tariff looks set to be reinstated for 5 weeks - install before 3rd March!

Their aim is to help homeowners install solar electricity panels on their roofs to cut their carbon footprints, invest in renewable energy technology and to take advantage of the current considerable financial incentives. They have done an assessment of many installation companies and have selected the most beneficial, with not only a group discount, but also a free installation on a community building for every 25 installations.   In principle, Oakwood Infant School, Greenfields Junior School and others could benefit should the group reach the required targets. As well as the financial benefit, the Solar PV panels would also assist in environmental and renewable energy education and help the schools meet the new carbon-reduction commitment. The programme is already underway with 12 installations complete and another 5 booked.  Although they expect most installations to be in Hartley Wintney, homeowners from outside the village are welcome to join and they already have an installation in the nearby town of Fleet. "Many people will be looking at the good financial return from a successful installation but I also enjoy the thought of the sun helping me with my energy needs. It feels really good to know I am using carbon-free electricity," said Derek Smee, who lives in the village and was one of the first to get a system. "There will be a number of us trail-blazers there at the meeting on the 13th to answer any questions and help people decide whether solar panels are for them." Ken Shorey, another resident of Hartley Wintney, said, "I am happy to recommend Paarl Energy.  The customer service follow-up was impressive." The financial benefits decrease after April 1st 2012, so now is the time to go solar! The HWSAG can be contacted at hwsolar2011@yahoo.co.uk for queries or to book a free no- obligation survey. Hartley Wintney Solar Action Group Rises to the Government's change to the Solar Tariff Deadline Local people in and around the Hartley Wintney area took up the Government's "Solar Feed In Tariff" to encourage investment in "micro generation" of electricity using photovoltaic solar panels. The Hartley Wintney Solar Action Group had high hopes of encouraging its members to "go green" and installing solar panels on over 100 houses and small businesses in the area by the April 2012 deadline. A community group buying deal was set up with solar panel installers PAARL Energy Ltd. But following the Coalition's "U" turn which slashed the Feed in Tariff funding by half in October, it has been a race against time to get as many systems installed before the new 12th December deadline.   PAARL Energy's managing director James Taylor says "After all the work involved setting up the HWSAG scheme, everyone was frustrated and annoyed by the Government's action. By halving the funding with just six weeks notice in late October, the Government served green householders and the solar industry with a body blow. We have worked flat out to get 60 systems installed before the new deadline, including this larger system at Winchfield, which will generate sufficient power for the daytime electrical requirement of fifteen or more nearby houses. The good weather this winter has certainly been a great help in getting these installations done. We hope to work with HWSAG in the New Year on a new scheme to further reduce the price of the solar panels to enable a reasonable return for homeowners at the reduced Feed in Tariff rate. Meanwhile we are about to install free systems on the local schools at Oakwood Infants and Greenfield Juniors, that we are providing as part of the community benefit generated by the group scheme" Want to know more?

Set out by the Government on 9th February 2012, a tariff of 21p/kWh will take effect from 1st April 2012 for domestic-size solar panels with an eligibility date on or after 3rd March 2012. Other tariff reductions apply for larger installations. Properties installing solar panels on or after 1st April this year will be required to produce an Energy Performance Certificate rating of 'D' or above to qualify for a full FiT. The previous proposals for a 'C' rating or a commitment for all Green Deal measures to be installed was seen as impractical at this stage. The government estimates that about half of all properties are already eligible for a 'D' rating.  For more information visit the Department of Energy & Climate Change.
