In order to get more people using solar power the government is offering a number incentives to keep up with EU targets. To combat global warming all member states will be expected to use 15% of their energy from renewable sources by 2020. At present in the UK this figure is only 1%.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change are launching the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in April 2011. This has been set up so that the population will begin using natural power sources like the sun, air and water instead of fossil fuels. Not only will you be paid for the energy that you generate but you will also make a saving on your bills.

Anyone can qualify for the campaign from private households to large businesses as long as they are in England, Scotland or Wales. The solar installation you own must have been fitted after July 15th 2009 in order to qualify for the scheme. With the expected price fall of solar equipment people who take part in the RHI from the beginning will profit best from it. With those joining standing to be paid a maximum of 18p for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy generated, even if it isn't used.

There is also a feed-in tariff system which begun in Spring this year for families collecting renewable energy. Households can make a maximum of 36p/kWh and an additional 5p/kWh should they be on holiday and the power goes to the national grid. For a year involved in the campaign a family can expect to receive almost 1,000 in reward and save about 150 on their bills.

However, installing solar panels is still a very costly process with some fittings being almost 10,000. But the payback time is expected to fall by almost half a decade to ten years.

The UK Government's inventives are sure to encourage the installation of more solar pv panels in Britain.
