Solar PV

Why should I speak to EH Smith?

2011 is the year of Solar PV! The Government 'Clean Energy Cashback Scheme' has stimulated the market in the UK which saw monthly installed figures rocketing. The scheme ensures not only payback, in cash, but an investment opportunity as well with returns of around 10% year on year. Enlightened clients are looking at mass retrofit programmes but what risks are they being exposed to?

Risks-

• Performance of panels - the performance can vary hugely and directly affect the income that the panels generate. We can offer independetn advice on a range of products to suit every application and budget.

• After Sales Support - PV is a 25 year investment and aftersales support will become a critical area in 5-10 years. Will the manufacturer/supplier still be there?

• Technical Specification - Output tolerance, bypass diodes, wind loading capacity, module efficiency... All these areas and more need to be considered to understand the true performance potential and longevity of the system.

• Capacity to Supply - PV is a global market and supply has already been volatile in this country. EH Smith have partnered with Dutch PV specialists Sunconnex

EH Smith offer a risk managed solution to PV specification and supply and work with a network of established accredited installers across the country. We carry significant stock levels of PV panels and accessories.
