SOLARGREENPOWER Has been formed as an extension of Cooling Heating & Power who for 25 years have been involved in the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of projects as diverse as, heating & ventilation, process cooling & air conditioning, and small scale combined heat & power generation. We have been watching the renewable energy market for 20 years and now feel the time is right to become involved and support this market with our experience and particular expertise.
SOLARGREENPOWER is directly involved with the supply and installation of renewable energy products.
Specifically
Vacuum Evacuated Tube Solar thermal Collectors and un-vented hot water storage cylinders, and thermal storage systems
Photo Voltaic solar systems, either stand alone or Grid Connected via G 86 (up to 3.3 kW hr), or G59 grid tie inverter synchronising panels
Small scale Micro-generation Wind & Water turbines stand alone or grid connected
Small Scale Natural Gas Combined Heat & Power Sets up to 45 kW or Multiples of same
Heat Pumps & Absorption Chillers for heating & Cooling
We also supply equipment to the D.I.Y. Market and provide a professional reference and back up service, within a 50 mile radius of our base in Macclesfield Cheshire: - focusing in particular on the following areas:
Our staff comprise of Engineers who are qualified and certificated in all aspects of installation work, for Industry, Commerce, and the Domestic markets. As such they are able to self certify their installations as complying with all aspects of the building regulations.
Electrically qualified to achieve part P installation & testing certification.
HOW WE ACHIEVE 70% SOLAR WATER HEATING
Solargreenpower Mains pressure Hot Water Cylinders are manufactured in the
UK to the highest quality standards in stainless steel, Factory insulated, and available in a
range of sizes.
Because of their unique design the CH & Solar coils are positioned to achieve maximum solar collection performance with minimum energy consumption in CH or Immersion top up heating mode.
The most common cylinder size in the average household is 122L (25Gallon).
We recommend the largest Cylinder you can accommodate, 200 litres is good,300 is
much better.
Mains Pressure cylinders mean no tanks in the roof and “Powerful Hot Water Showers”
PAYBACK or RETURN on INVESTMENT
So you want my coat do ya!
Please click here to view our Solar Fiscal Payback spreadsheet which shows a positive return on investment in approx 7 years. The 7 year payback depends on the rate of interest obtainable and the rate of energy price increase, and costs of installation, current rates of all have been used. (Email us for the attachment & Try putting your own figures in).
Purely fiscal payback is of course not the whole picture. With just one solar panel, In 7 years we would save About 8 tonnes of COČ production. What is that worth in fiscal terms ???
So if you are minded to do something positive to reduce your Carbon Footprint and help make the world a better place to live in, put a fiscal value on the alternative benefits of a lower carbon footprint.
What price do we put on the life of a Polar Bear or the other wild animals who are succumbing to climate change & pollution?
They are Priceless of course:- but for the fiscally conscious fraternity who have to put a price on everything try putting the fiscal benefit of saving just one Polar Bear into the spreadsheet calculation.
Q. How long does it take for a solar heating installation to pay for itself? A. A Solar heating installation does have a payback, and it can vary from four to ten years. Depending on the weather, your hot water usage, and rate of energy price increase.
But it may be more useful to think of solar as an investment that yields an annual return, much as a bank savings account provides interest. A solar water heater will generate savings that can equal a bank account generating a twenty percent (20%) annual return, and the savings are not taxed as income, as is the interest you earn at the bank.
The truth is if you want hot water... you will be paying for that heat. You may prefer to pay the utility bill forever, or you may wish instead to go solar, and become your own utility. It is quite similar to the reason you once decided to buy your home and stop renting.
Solar is simply the best investment available today because it guarantees a return on money that you will otherwise "burn" and helps you develop equity as you bank your savings.
When you buy a car, patio furniture, or refurbish your kitchen, they are assets without a payback (depreciating assets). A solar installation is a 25 year (appreciating asset) and after payback occurs it will continue saving money.
