Sunday Times Puts Solar PV In Top Five Investments
23/5/10 - The Sunday Times put solar PV panels as one of its top five investments for making 10% returns on your savings. In the article it advised customers to consider PV following the introduction of the feed-in tariff in April, offering them a tax-free, index linked income for the energy they produce. The new coalition Government has agreed to honour the feed-in tariff system for electricity.
"Given that the income is tax-free, the return on a £14,000 investment is equivalent to 12.9% for a 50% tax payer and 10.3% for a 40% tax-payer, with the investment recouped in as little as seven years. As the payments are linked to RPI, this equates to a real return of 18.2% and 15.6% respectively at today's RPI rate of 5.3%" reports The Sunday Times.
"As a small, specialised photovoltaic installer in the UK, we are available to offer our customers highly competitive prices that make solar pv a very good investment for today which will only increase in the future as electricity prices rise," comments marketing director, Claire Davies. "With the feed-in tariff guaranteed for 25 years by law, this makes installing pv panels a very LOW RISK, HIGH RETURN investment by any standards."
