Yes is is possible to get Free PV Solar Panels with the "Rent your roof space" schemes
One of the main reasons for using the PV solar panels is due to the easy installation process as well as the low costs associated with it. These PV Solar Panels are also more portable and the services they offer are more reliable.
These are some of the factors which should push people to opt for the PV solar panels especially the ones that are made out of amorphous silicon.
The other good news for customers is the fact that there are a number of companies that are offering customers free PV solar panels. These companies install these solar panels and they will in turn receive the income that is generated out of the export tariffs.
The customer in turn will benefit from the reduction in electricity bills due to the energy that is generated on site. Some companies offer the electricity that is generated at a discounted price for the customer.
While opting for the free PV solar panels it is wise to calculate the annual savings for you and how this will benefit you. If the electricity supplied is for free then the cash equivalent would be at around £100 but would depend on the size of the PV solar panels.
How does this Free Solar Panels Scheme work?
The company installs the PV solar panels and pays for all the related expenses including installation and maintenance. The owner of the site gets free electricity from the solar panels.
The electricity that is produced (surplus) and is unused will be exported into the electricity network. The income that is generated out of this (Feed in Tariffs) will go to the company that has installed the PV solar panels.
This type of a scheme is also popularly known as ‘rent my roof space’ where the companies rent the roof space from the customer.
It is also worth noting that the savings might not be as great as expected as the unused electricity is not stored and feed directly back to the grid, so if you are using very little electricity during the day you might not benefit as much from these Free Solar Panels, and you might be better looking at PV Solar Panels as a long term investment.
