Solar panels now in operation on Glastonbury Town Hall roof

It was an 8.8Kw system in the end so that it was under the 10kw limit & yes the 4-10kw systems were affected (I believe it will get 39p per kwh at the old pre-cut rate).
As for Michael's comment... I'll take it Michael doesn't have a south facing roof or he could have a system for FREE next week! They're still offering free systems on south facing roofs if they can be installed by March 5th.
Oh well I suppose there's always someone ready to moan even though this Town Hall installation will save every single Council Tax payer in Glastonbury money on their Council Tax Bill because it reduces the 'costs' of running the Town Hall (nearly £10,000 a year on energy alone!!) & thus allows that money to be spent on youth clubs, Glastonbury in Bloom etc etc without a commensurate rise in Council Tax Bills.. not only that, but the return on capital investment is about 15% over the 25 years of the FiTs. i.e. sound business sense for the TC.
Furthermore the charge on Bills is nowhere near as drastic as the energy corporations' lobbyists are trying to make out and in fact they have been deliberately misleading us (surprise surprise). The cost of delaying the cuts to FiTs would have cost households between 10p & £1.60 a YEAR... i.e. between a penny & 13p a month.

I would be interested to hear Michael's opinion on Nuclear power which is "subsidised" by us all much much much MUCH MORE than solar power or *any* other renewable energy (and furthermore the nuke energy we consume today will still be being paid for by our grandchildren). Or how about the expected extra flooding predicted due to climate change extreme weather events & sea level rises? See DEFRA's latest predictions:

We all pay for flooding through government funded flood clean-ups & increased insurance costs (whether we live on a floodplain or not).
Frankly Michael, if you don't have a south facing roof, then in most cases you can still have solar panels & if you can't because of trees or something, then there are other renewable technologies you *can* have, which will earn you feed in tariffs or RHI's as well (such as micro-CHP).

Once you have a renewable like solar power, your bills will reduce (for obvious reasons) & besides the climate change levy charge is only levied on energy companies who produce the energy in carbon pollution producing power stations... it will encourage the energy corporations themselves to produce the energy with renewables or lose customers.

Installations of 10KWp do not get 43.3p - only installations up to 4KWp get that rate. All rates change on 1st April anyway, not sure it the 4-10KWp band was due to change on 12th December so ther might not have been any rush.

Still a good thing to have though

I see nothing unfair about slashing the tarrifs for solar energy at all . Why should people who cannot have solar energy subsidise others?
Why should someone have to pay towards say their next door neighbour, who has a suitable south facing roof?
It means most of us are subsidising the few.It is totally unfair paying such inflated tarrifs and fitting these so called free systems for those lucky enough to be able to take advantage of it

Well done to all concerned there then. They deserve a pat on the back. Hopefully the income generated will help go against the extra costs incurred during the recent town hall renovation fiasco!
