Even though lots of users of Solar Energy Panels could well want to take advantage of the financial benefits such as the feed-in tariff, they must have the building connected to the national grid to enable them to export surplus electricity generated by the Solar Energy Panels set up. There could well be cases where a building does not have a connection to the national grid, such as inaccessible areas, where the home owner has to use oil or petrol driven generators for power supply. But the customers could want to switch to Solar Energy Panels in order to save costs on fuel, which could be substantial in inaccessible areas.
The Solar Energy Prices for fixing of the Solar Energy Panels can be around ?12,000 for a typical domestic building and the Solar Energy Prices, repaid by the feed-in tariff can be around ?500 to ?800 per year, and of course, any electricity that the Solar Energy Panels generate is free. Of course the isolated Solar Energy Panels set up would not be able to provide the Solar Energy Prices benefits. In order to take advantage of the electricity generated, a battery storage system would be required so that unused electricity can be stored for consumption when required, which would in reality, add to the Solar Energy Prices total.
While the case for isolated Solar Energy Panels in inaccessible areas could be probably worthwhile, for customers in areas served by the national grid, a Solar Energy Panels set up could well need to be rather large to be able to manufacture enough electricity to satisfy the needs of a household. Of course if the home owner wanted to also add battery storage functionality, then this would add to the Solar Energy Prices to be paid. It would take a determined individual to go for a isolated Solar Energy Panels set up in a case like this, where the Solar Energy Prices to be paid could well be much more in excess of the twelve thousand pounds, and with no feed-in tariff available to offset the Solar Energy Prices, it could well be quite some time before any benefits were forthcoming.
