Generating energy - both electrical and hot water from domestic solar panels has suddenly become a lot more interesting with the recent start of Feed-in Tariffs for renewable electrical power generation.
Hot water and heat generation will have to wait until next April (2011) for the renewable heat incentives to begin.
The introduction of feed-in tariffs means that domestic installations could re-coup their investment faster - the pay back period as it is referred to, is shorter making the investment in domestic solar panels a lot more attractive for the homeowner.
There are also grants and schemes available that may part-cover installation costs so it's always worth checking with your local authority and your local solar panel companies about what's available and what the claim process is.
