Solar Advanced Systems Announce "RIOS" To The Solar PV Market
Last month, Energy and Climate Minister Greg Barker announced a new UK solar PV strategy that involves developing government estates, factories, supermarkets and car parks into "˜Solar Hubs'.
The strategy will support the Government's goal to achieve 20GW of solar installed by 2020, along with creating tens of thousands of jobs.
However, developing large buildings into power stations will require substantial amounts of investment. For many companies with tight budgets, solar projects may not currently be at the forefront of their plans.
As a direct response to clients who dislike the contractually restrictive PPA's, Solar Advanced Systems have developed a Renewable Incentive Operating Scheme (RIOS) for commercial companies that allows the installation of a maintained and operated solar PV installation with zero capital investment.
The client will remain cash positive from year one, creating immediate benefit from reduced utility cost and the government backed Feed-In Tariff whilst retaining a flexible exit strategy.
The scheme is currently catering for companies with high energy demands throughout all industries for example the agricultural sector. With the support of Solar Advanced Systems, companies have developed vacant roof space into solar power hubs, consuming all energy generated from the system and reducing their reliance on the national grid.
Inclusive of this package, Solar Advanced Systems partner with these companies ensuring maximum efficiency and output throughout the lifetime of the system.
RIOS provides companies with a capital free, fully maintained, energy secure solar PV opportunity whilst being fully flexible in its exit strategy.
With a proposed idea that all companies across the UK should be producing their own energy by "˜natural default', Solar Advanced Systems are working hand-in-hand to help both the Government and UK businesses reduce dependence on fossil fuels in order to meet the UK's 2020 targets.
