Solar Panels Provided And Installed For Free
Free solar panels are being offered by several UK companies. They will install the units free of charge and you will realise the benefit of free electricity. The supplier/installer will get to claim the Feed In Tariffs provided by the electrical company. Some parameters will have to be met to receive this great offer.
The company you hire will make sure that your home can accept the system needed to produce enough power for your home. The roof area is important, as it needs to be southerly facing with enough area to install the product. Shading by buildings, trees, or other structures will have to be assessed.
There is a contract that will have to be agreed to by you. It states that the unit and installation are free and that the maintenance will be handled by the installing company. Companies will state that the unit has to stay with the home if sold. Other companies will allow the owner to purchase the system outright. Discuss the options available.
Selling a home with existing solar panels may or may not be an issue. Obviously, if the new owner wants to continue the contract there isn't an issue. Some would prefer to own the unit so that they can claim the tariff payments. Make sure you know what your contract will allow.
Having an existing unit installed could be a selling point. Use the benefit of free electricity to elevate your home over others that do not have the system installed. If the contract allows for the buy out of the unit, include that information. Free electricity and payments could sell your home quickly.
With so many companies willing to offer free solar panels, you can pick one that has the terms that will allow for a smooth transition if the home is sold. Search online for installation and supply companies that have the MCS or Microgeneration Certification Scheme. The install company and the product must bare this certification to participate in the Feed In Tariff program.
