The government estimate that around half UK homes already meet grade D.

MDB New Energy can offer you free energy efficiency advice and provide an energy performance certificate for as little as £60. We are expecting a busy time up till the July deadline so we are urging customers to get in touch as soon as possible to secure the current rate of 21p.

You may think July is a long way off but a typical Solar PV Install can take up to 3 weeks to prepare and install.

A galvanized steel frame was constructed in a south facing position by our team.  An array of 40 Sanyo 250w HT photovoltaic panels were installed.

Since 31st October there has been a lot of confusion with the Government’s Feed-in Tariffs, but really it is very simple!

If you install by the 31st March 2012 then you are guaranteed to receive a rate no lower than 21p per kWh. With the prices of solar panels dropping this is a great investment with a return of up to 10%. There is also a good chance due to an appeal by the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) that your rate could be increased to 43.3p per kWh.

After the Goverments announcement to cut the Feed in Tariff, prices of solar panels have fallen dramatically, whilst electricity prices still continue to rise. This means we can still provide quality systems that offer you a fantastic rate of return on your investment, around 9% per year.

MDB New Energy are now installing 4KW systems, which include 16 solar PV panels for £10,500.

Installing solar panels on your home will save you money on electricity bills, protect you from rising energy prices and also earn you money for generating your own clean, green electricity. On top of all this you will be doing your bit for the environment and cutting your carbon footprint!

The cuts are set to take place on the 12th December 2011, reducing the Feed-in Tariff from 43.3p to 21p.

MDB New Energy are working hard and fast to help customers beat this deadline.

If gas and coal costs rise in the coming decade by the same amount as they did between 2000 and 2010, an additional £8bn a year would be needed by 2020 to generate electricity, costing the average householder an extra £300 compared with lower costs if the UK met its targets to boost renewables, Friends of the Earth claimed.

“The roof survey and location check were free and we were given several packages to consider and a price for each package. The prices were explained clearly and there were no hidden extras or nasty surprises. The feed in tariff and benefits were explained to us and we felt we understood how it all worked. There was never any sales pressure so we were able to make our minds up in our own time.

Once we decided to go ahead we were amazed how quickly they went up. There was no mess or disruption and they look great. Were really looking forward to reduced bills and what we get back from selling power back to the grid will be a real bonus.”

From April to June this year, nearly 34 megawatts (MW) of new solar generating capacity was added to the UK grid – the biggest amount ever in a single quarter, bringing the UK’s total capacity to nearly 122MW. This represented more than 14,500 new installations in the last quarter alone, compared with the UK’s total capacity of only 2,700 solar panel systems in use by the end of March 2010, according to newly released figures from the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
