Joju Points To Improving Solar Metrics
Solar installer Joju Solar is unfazed by the government's latest planned cuts in feed-in tariffs which grab headlines but distract from the real story. As electricity prices rise and solar costs fall solar PV "“ particularly for many companies "“ is the cheapest way of supplying electricity to a building. The residential feed-in tariff will be cut from 21p per KW hour to 16.5p today and the commercial feed-in tariff will be cut from 15.9p per KW hour to 13.5p.
"The feed-in tariff is becoming a smaller and smaller proportion of the benefits of a solar system," said Dr. Chris Jardine, Technical Director, Joju Solar.
"Increasingly, the value of solar comes from not importing electricity from one of the big suppliers at rates that are just going to go up and up is where the real benefit lies."
"Therefore, the cuts in feed-in tariffs although they grab headlines, are actually masking the real story which is that there are remarkable savings to be made from putting solar on your roof."
"Solar PV, particularly for many companies, is the cheapest way of supplying electricity to a building."
