What are the BENEFITS of PV?

For building integrated photovoltaic systems the DTI have introduced the Low Carbon Buildings Programme, a grant scheme to help overcome the  initial cost of installation. The scheme administered by the Energy Saving Trust (see BELOW for link) will pay up to £2,000 per kWp for grid connected PV systems which are building related (to a maximum of £2,500). Systems must be designed, installed and commissioned by accredited installers.
Grants are also available for Commercial and Public buildings. Becosolar are a project partner with British Gas, Sharp and Solar Technologies for LCBP Phase 2 projects.
A typical 2.0kWp (kilowatt peak) PV system will occupy an area of 16m² and if south-facing at a pitch of 35° will generate around 1,800 kWh/annum. The installed costs vary according to style and size but are typically in the range of £6000 to £7500 per kWp. PV on the roof is a very stylish way of generating some, if not all, of a building’s electricity requirements with no running costs and no pollution, indeed every Kilowatt hour of solar electricity you produce will save approximately 0.43 Kg of CO2 . A typical household, careful with it’s use of electricity, should be self-sufficient over a year with a 3kWp system and save nearly 1.2 tonnes of C02.

Would you like to install a clean, silent, maintenance free electricity generator on the roof of a house, office or community building and invest in a better future? The UK Government will now help you achieve this with up to 50% Grants for Grid-Connected Solar Systems on public and community buildings.
