Reptrospective Solar Panel PVs: A Fits Market Investment Opportunities in Scotland Report

An investment window of opportunity has emerged that will be revised in April 2012. The retrofit solar PV installation of up to 4KW has been determined at a Feed in Tariff (FIT) of 41.3p per KWh for installations made up to 31/3/2012, and this will last for a 25 year duration, and the level has also been index linked. In addition there is an export tariff of 3p per KWh. The household with the installation also makes savings on its electricity bills, because generating electricity means the household does not have to buy as much electricity from the energy supplier.
This report has detailed market analysis including the orientation of domestic roofs, segmented between detached, semi-detached and terraced housing. Moreover, each report contains detailed costings on installations by roof orientation (south west, south-south west, south, south-south east and south east, and those less suitable). The reports identify the market size, by orientation and type of house and provide analysis of the pay back periods and returns on investment for commercial investors specific to the area and taking account of panel degredation, system losses, irradiation, temperature loss etc.
This report is priced at �7,500 and is available to order online.
