The PV revolution is truly with us following a massive incentive from the government back in April 2010 granting consumers the ability to sell the electricity they generate back to the National Grid at 3 pence per unit. Most amazingly though there is another 41.3 pence per kilowatt of generated electricity for personal use. Consequently, there has been an avid uptake in the fitting of PV arrays in the domestic market, the news gets better still as industrial clients are also gifted with 0% loans for fitting PV systems as Whitehall seeks to reduce the carbon foot print of the industrial community..
