Energy specialists based at Four Crosses say people's judgement on solar panel installation has been clouded.
Bosses at Sky Energy say Government changes to the amount of money home owners can save from the power generated by solar panels fitted to their properties have clouded the judgement of some potential buyers.
The company says the ruling has resulted in some mixed messaging for the industry which saw thousands of home owners rush to have solar panels placed on their roofs with the promise of more than 8% returns annually.
“It has been a turbulent year for the industry but the change in Feed-in Tariffs has been offset by the lower cost of installation so it still represents a very healthy investment with returns in excess of 6%,” said John McNicholas, from SkyEnergy.
“SkyEnergy firmly believes that the changes made to the Feed-in Tariffs provide a strong, sustainable foundation for growth for the solar sector, providing the industry with longevity and certainty.”
Mr McNicholas also pointed out that there is a misconception that it needs to be sunny in order to cash in on solar.
“Many people think that solar panels require hot sunny weather. This is not the case with modern solar photovoltaic panels which can produce electricity in all weather conditions.”
"The Feed in tariff is still not set at 16p, It is due to drop again in November 2012, by 3.5%- Don’t miss out. "
