Solar Choice Calls for More Feed-In Tariff Publicity
By Solar Choice, PRNEWednesday, June 16, 2010
MANCHESTER, England, June 17, 2010 - Solar panel installation experts at Solar Choice believe the Government
is failing consumers by neglecting to publicise vital information about the
Feed-In Tariff widely enough.
The UK's Feed-In Tariff came into effect in April 2010 and offers
generous financial incentives to consumers opting to install solar PV panels
(www.solarchoice.uk.com/) in their homes. Yet despite this, there has
been relatively little by way of information and publicity about the tariff
made available to consumers.
Solar Choice Sales Director, Ajay Hargreaves, believes this must be
rectified, commenting that:
"The Government has introduced this amazing scheme. They've made solar
panels an investment, rather than an expense. But we're still continually
finding that people simply either don't know exactly what it's all about or
even don't know about it at all! The Feed-In Tariff here is particularly
generous. It's been covered in newspapers and on TV all over the globe, yet
we're failing to inform the very people it benefits, the UK consumers."
It is hoped that the Feed-In Tariff will encourage a higher uptake of
solar panel installation here in the UK and that this in turn will contribute
to the Goverment's carbon emission reduction targets. Ajay considers
publicising the tariff as imperative to the success of meeting these targets:
"The British Government has pledged to cut our carbon emissions by 60% by
2050. Those are ambitious targets. The Feed-In Tariff is an incredible way to
encourage solar installation and therefore reduce carbon emissions but if
consumers aren't even aware of it, we'll never see its full potential."
