It lets precious heat out, or toomuch summer heat in – and alwaysseems to need maintenance.

Instead, you could find a new use forthat roof, and earn a good return withyour own Solar Photovoltaic (PV)Energy installation – right there on theroof of your building, providing freesolar electricity for the premises.

A WIRSOL Solar PV installation won’tjust benefit the wider environmentand work wonders for your corporateimage, it can actually earn youmoney – thanks to the 2010 UKGovernment scheme called ‘theFeed-in Tariff’ – ‘FiT’.

With a WIRSOL installed solar powerplant, your business will movetowards independence from theinevitable fossil fuel energy priceincreases. Our system allows you toplan on generating clean ecologicalpower for decades.

And a visible solar installation is morethan just a good business deal foryour company; consumersincreasingly value green credentialsand you will be playing your part inreducing carbon emissions.

The Economics of Solar PVThe introduction of the Government’sFeed-in Tariff scheme in the UKmeans that now the time is right forinvestment in solar energy. A SolarPV installation helps safeguardbusinesses against the aggressiverises in energy costs that arehappening now and are widelypredicted to continue over the next25 years. What’s more, Solar PVplants will receive index-linked Feed-in Tariff payments for a period of 25years, providing an extremelycompetitive Return-on-Investment.The financial and environmentalbenefits of placing a Solar PV arrayon your roof are clear – we think thatthe future has never looked so bright.

Financing the installationIf your company has the capitalcurrently available to invest, thenowning a solar array outright is agood option; you'll get the free powerand associated savings, the fullbenefit of the FiT payments andbenefit from a very healthy and taxefficient investment. However, ifpresent business conditions dictate adifferent approach, consider a jointventure with WIRSOL, through ourpart, or fully financed solar options.

* The figures above are based on average values taken from the European Commission solar radiation data. We have assumed annual FiT &energy cost inflation rates of 3.0% & 7.0% respectively. Year 1 FiT Generation & export tariffs are 31.4p & 3.0p respectively. The performance ofthe solar panels has been assumed to degrade at the rate of 0.4% p.a. Electrical savings figures are based on 9p/kWh, exporting 25% ofenergy generated with your own property consuming 75% of the energy generated by your new 50 kWp solar system. The above electricalperformance figures are based on the solar array fitted flush to a 35º pitched roof which will take up approximately 355m2.

Note: Revenues reflect panels performance degradation, but this has not been extended into the cost savings calculations.
