New 16p solar FiT will go ahead from August 1
28th May 2012: After weeks of anticipation the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has today published the results of the latest solar feed-in tariff consultation. From August 1 the new rate for 4kW systems will be 16p/kWh, set in line with current installation figures. With installed prices now more than 50 percent lower than in April 2010 when the FiT was first introduced, the latest tariffs are aimed at providing the same returns as originally set out. |
Solar Panels
Says Princes director Paul Prince. Recent Government announcements, alongside negative coverage in the media, have created the impression that investment in Solar Panels is no longer attractive.
Enjoy a Princely reduction to your electricity Bills!! Princes are delighted to announce they now hold MCS accreditation to add to the ever growing, impressive portfolio of nationally recognised accreditations. MCS = Microgeneration Certification Scheme is the requirement by the government for installers to achieve in order that customers can connect and benefit to the feed-in tariff, which is the Government's system for paying you to generate electricity through solar panels. (If you are thinking of having solar panels fitted PLEASE ensure your installer is MCS ACCREDITED) Princes' comprehensive internal management system and expertise in electrical installation has enabled us to have a straight forward passage through the exacting MCS audit. We would now welcome enquiries from our domestic & commercial customers who are keen to learn more about our solar panel supply & install service, leading to reduced energy bills and an effective contribution to a greener environment. - October 2011 |
Paul Prince, director of Princes Electrical Contracting, was jubilant today following the announcement that their bid for ISO 9001:2008 certification has been successful. The good news came shortly after the final audit was carried out last week. Paul commented ”The award itself is the result of hard work by the internal office team and it confirms that the company’s high level of organisation and management meets the exacting standards required by this internationally recognised standard. By achieving this standard Princes Electrical Contracting can confidently assure its varied business clients that its internal procedures and systems are of the highest standard.
Princes electrical contracting have now completed work on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The work, done in conjunction with main contractors ALL SECURITY, was carried out over a 3 month period at night. Princes Director Simon Lewis who managed the project said "“It was a privilege to carry out the upgrade work on such an historic grade 2 listed building as The Law Courts. I feel this reflects very positively on our technical ability as Princes were selected above others by All Security who are a National size company so could have selected contractors much nearer to London. The court is a magnificent building and as you would expect standards of security were very high so it was reassuring that our own Human Resource & Health and Safety systems have come to the fore to support our technical expertise”. |
