Bringing Stability back to the solar PV market

Alan Aldridge, member of the CLA and Managing Director of Riomay Renewable Energies based in Crawley, West Sussex, says the recent decision by the Government to appeal to the Supreme Court extends the period of uncertainty for consumers.

"The recent flux in the renewable industry surrounding the Feed in Tariffs - 21p or 43p / kWh for the period from 12th December until 3rd March - has led to recent uncertainty and instability in the market, and mass confusion for consumers," says Aldridge. "However, clarification is on its way, as the consultation period is due to end shortly and from 3rd March the tariff rates should be confirmed. However, there is a 'silver lining' emerging from the cloud of confusion. Product prices have progressively fallen over the last year, some by almost 50%, and the market now offers the lowest prices ever meaning that even with a lower tariff, customers can still get a great return on investment on their solar PV systems".

With stability back in the solar PV market and the technology having now been unquestionably tested with over  77.8MW worth of solar being installed in the UK by March 2012 compared to just 26 megawatts (MW) before the scheme started on 1 April 2011*, Riomay Renewable Energies would be pleased to outline the options and benefits that may be available to you for solar PV or other renewable energy technologies either on your home, barn or farm buildings or ground mounted on your land.
