Are you pleased with your new installation?
Yes - We are very pleased with the installation, the technical knowledge of our rep was exceptional and we could not fault the service we received from you. The installation went smoothly with not a single hiccup. The technical knowledge from your rep was exceptional and answered all of our questions.

The installation has reached our expectations and surpassed them, so far we have (made/saved) £400 in just 3 months and that was with a poor august. I can see that in the new year it is going to be incredibly valuable and is going to return even more on our investment. We are hoping to get at least 10% back in the first year and inflation should boost this a bit.

Why did you decide to install a renewable energy system?
What made you choose [PV]?

The main factor on our decision on getting PV installed was from seeing the goverment feed in tariff scheme, the FiTs rate were too good not to take up – which has been proven by the recent cuts in the scheme! Although we should still be getting a good return even with the cuts.

What made you decide to choose Gregor as your installer?

We decided to use Gregor because you are a trusted name in the local community, your rates were competitive and we had heard great reports from our friends.

How did you find the overall service/experience of your Gregor energy expert?

Richard did well in helping us register for the FiTs. After the installation was complete Richard was back the very next day to make sure we had all the certification required to prove the install. In fact Richard has been quick to help us with any issues we may have whether they are his responsibility or not!

We would highly recommend Gregor to anyone thinking about installing Solar PV

The key points:
> A fast track review of the FiT scheme will see a reduced tariff applied to all installations completed and registered after 12th December 2011
> Installations completed before this date will be unaffected
> Installations after the 12th December will continue to receive the current higher rate until the 31st March 2012
> As of the 1st April 2012 the reduced rate will apply to all installations completed and registered after 12th December

Climate Change and Energy Minister Greg Barker said:
“My priority is to put the solar industry on a firm footing so that it can remain a successful and prosperous part of the green economy, and so that it doesn’t fall victim to boom and bust.”

Since the DECC announce the review our team of energy specialists have been working to ensure all existing installations booked with Gregor will benefit from the current rate as we endeavour to move all current installation bookings for completion before 12th December.

If you are concerned about how the review will effect your installation please call your dedicated installation manager at Gregor who will be happy to discuss on an individual basis in more detail.

The full report is available to download from the DECC website, visit http://www.decc.gov.uk or click here for the pdf report

The decision comes after concerns for the cost involved in the higher FiT rates, there is limited funding allocated for the FiTs scheme to control the impact on energy consumers who pay for the scheme through their bills.

The DECC reports:
“If the Government took no action, by 2014-15 FITs for solar PV would be costing consumers £980 million a year, adding around £26 (2010 prices) to annual domestic electricity bills in 2020. Our proposals will restrict FITs PV costs to between £250-280 million in 2014-15, reducing the impacts of FITs expenditure on PV on domestic electricity bills by around £23 (2010 prices) in 2020.”

Yesterday evening Richard, our very own energy expert, and Steve, the MD, had a rare day out at the Regen SW Sustainable Energy Reception, an afternoon and evening full of the UK’s leading powers in renewable energy. The event was a rare opportunity to hear about some of the exciting renewable energy projects currently underway in the South West as well as an informative insight into the potential renewable energy holds for the future.

Merlin Hyman, chief executive of Regen SW, said:
“Over 10,000 people are directly employed in the south west in sustainable energy and we have the resources and entrepreneurial spirit to take a leading role in this fast growing sector. With the right public policy framework this could be just the start.”
