WE all need energy, to light and heat our homes and workplaces and use the
gadgets and appliances that make our lives easier and to travel.
However, as fuel and energy prices rise – and the world looks to
reduce its carbon footprint to literally save the planet – more
and more people are seeking a cost-effective alternative to just
buying energy from utility companies.

More and more people now want to generate their
own electricity and heat.

Simple renewable energy technologies are the answer.Packages can be
tailored to meet a user’s needs, or mixed and matched to make them
even more efficient.

Imagine an air source heat pump powered by photovoltaic electricity and
you get the picture.

After the initial capital outlay,you could heat your home for free!
Technologies like ground and air source heat pumps are efficient and effective ways of
heating a home, business, or even swimming pool.And even the British climate is perfectly
suited to generate up to 40 per cent of a home’s electricity, free of charge,
using nothing more than the light of the sun.

Installing renewable energy technology in a home, workplace or public building provides the
ability to not only reduce energy bills and secure energy prices for the future,
but also to display a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
protecting the environment.

An investment in renewable energy technology is an investment in the planet’s future, and a
legacy of clean air and a stable environment for future generations.
At PlumbTraders we can provide you with many renewable systems and

Photovoltaic (PV) solar generation

In light of ever rising energy costs, climate change and
changing legislation, the need for a low carbon electricity
producing technology that is future proof, cost effective and able to
use an unlimited, sustainable source of energy is paramount. Solar PV
fits the bill perfectly. Using free energy from the
sun to produce electricity, solar PV panels produce their energy
from daylight, rather than solar radiation, meaning energy is
produced even on cloudy days. Suitable for homes, businesses, schools or
community buildings and with no moving parts, solar PV provides one of
the easiest and most reliable ways to future proof against rising energy
costs whilst reducing CO2 emissions.

With the introduction of the Government's Clean Energy
Cashback scheme investing in solar PV to generate a building's
electrical needs has never made more sense than it does now.

Generating electricity through photovoltaic solar panels offers
a number of benefits, including: -

-Using natural unlimited resources to produce zero carbon energy

- Generating up to half of a building's annual electrical
needs from renewable energy

- Reducing dependency on commercial electricity providers by generating your
own electricity

- Making money- the Feed in Tariff guarantees a minimum payment for every kW of
energy generated for 25 years

- Saving over 1 tonne of CO2 per year (typical 2.8kW system)

- Reducing energy bills and minimising the impact of rising energy costs

- Investment in a highly reliable system with a typicallifetime of over 30 years.

- Adding value to the property and adding to your own green credentials

- Little or no maintenance PV systems are noiseless and have no moving parts

- Easily meeting planning requirements for minimum contribution from renewable
  energy

- Providing a carbon reduction solution for properties under the Codes for Sustainable
  Homes and other building standards
