Local Solar and Recycled Buildings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2011 -- A local company, SolarUK is demonstrating how to be green by recycling a college building from Coventry into its new 17 sided (heptadecagon) straw lined Research & Development centre in Battle. As leading designers, manufacturers, supplier and installer of solar thermal and photovoltaics systems, they have expanded over the past 12 years so that the new facility at Battle is required.

With the rapid uptake of PV, due to the Feed-in-Tariff’s generous 12% return (index linked and tax free), SolarUK are using their expertise to help home owners, farmers and commercial clients to get the best installations possible.

Their depth of knowledge has recently been used to install the largest PV system in the South East. The 100kw system (25 times larger than most domestic systems) saves over 78,500 Kg of C02 and earns the client £53,850 per year.

Their quality of installation has been rewarded with a contract to supply the National Trust with renewable energy systems. This contract was won despite stiff competition from some very big companies. SolarUK’s ability to personally handle each job, often on listed buildings and their attention to details impressed the judges. These new opportunities have attracted applications from highly trained professionals, wishing to join SolarUK’s MCS accredited installation teams.

With a domestic system generating free electricity, and providing a tax free and index linked income costing from £5,000, it is not surprising that SolarUK are on a recruitment drive.

SolarUK’s director Geoff Fox said “It is gratifying that our years of hard work and training are being rewarded. It is great to be a part of this new green revolution. It allows our installers to use their skills to train new team members, and our latest graduate is using his aerospace training to generate detailed 3D schematics.”
