The PowerRouter is the ideal solution for the use of self-generated solar power (self-use). Why sell your surplus energy to the grid at a lower price, when you can store it for later use and receive a higher incentive for generating and using your own solar energy? Just connect solar energy and batteries to the PowerRouter and monitor and control where and when you use it. The PowerRouter allows you to optimize, control and manage yourself-generated energy. The PowerRouter is perfectly equipped to make the most efficient use of the self-use regulations. Use your own energy whenever you need it most.

Solar Feed in Tariffs from November 2012
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced that it's official deployment figures for the period from the 1st May 2012 to the 31st July 2012 are available to the public. This announcement is particularly significant, as it is these figures that will determine what the solar Feed-in Tariff rates are from November.
DECC has split installations into 3 size-based categories. Domestic scale installations (0-10kW), have totalled 164MW of capacity in the 3 month period. This falls within the 100-200MW threshold and so a 3.5% reduction will be implemented on the two tariff bands within this category. ≤4kW installations will receive 15.44p per kWh produced (down from 16p) and the >4-10kW rate will be 13.99p (down from 14.5p) from November 1st.
Small commercial installations (10-50kW) hit 57MW. The threshold here was just 50MW and so a 3.5% degression will also affect these tariff rates. As of November, the >10-50kW FIT rate will be 13.03p/kWh down from 13.5p.
The final category, large commercial installations (50kW-5MW), capacity only reached 14MW, which is less than the degression threshold. As a result the tariffs for larger installations will remain untouched, at least until February 2013.

Energy Performance Certificate
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC):
An EPC is an energy efficiency assessment of your home or
business dwelling; all properties require one when they are built, sold or
rented. Like appliances, they are rated from A to G with 'A' being the highest
level of efficiency. They contain information about the current performance of
your property and give you a rank based on this. They also make recommendations
about measures you could introduce to make your home more efficient, reduce
your carbon emissions and boost your rating. D is the average rating for houses
in the UK; it is estimated that around 50% of houses are below this level.
In the main, your EPC rating will be based on a few key
factors:
• When
your property was built.
• Whether
the property is insulated and to what degree.
• How
modern the heating system is and what fuel is used.
• The
property's ventilation characteristics.
Why you need one:
From 20 March 2012, the Feed-in Tariff rules require level
'D' Energy Performance Certificates.
From April, customers installing solar PV will be required
to produce an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of a minimum of level D in
order to claim the full feed-in tariff rate of 21p/kWh. Those who do not supply
this as part of their FIT application will receive a lower tariff (9p/kWh) for
the full duration of the tariff lifetime.
How to get one:
Urban Energy have fully trained EPC assessors. We offer an
EPC survey as part of our installation package, however should you require just
the EPC assessment; we are able to provide you with this service for a fee of
£65.00.
How is the assessment carried out:
During the assessment you can make it easier for your
assessor by telling him about any energy saving measures you have installed. If
you have had cavity insulation it's not always easy to see without knowing it's
there and it could mean you get a lower rating than you deserve.
It is also worth noting that, in some cases, installing a
solar PV or solar thermal system will boost your rate enough to raise your EPC
level to a D. We will let you know if this is the case for your property. It
should be noted that a property must already have an EPC rating of D or above
to achieve the higher tariff for PV installations.

UK government loses Supreme Court case against solar feed-in tariffs
The UK government’s doomed case against the challenge to its
planned cuts of solar feed-in tariffs has been rejected by the Supreme Court.
The last ditch attempt by the government to overthrow
previous decisions by the High Court and the Court of Appeal that its action to
cut solar feed-in tariffs during the consultation period as “legally flawed”
failed on Friday 23 March 2012.
The Supreme Court’s rejection of the government’s appeal
marks the end of the legal wrangle and leaves the thousands of homeowners and
businesses who installed solar panels after the 12 December cut-off date and
before 3 March better off.
The lucky ones will now receive the higher FIT rate of 43.3p
per kWh, instead of the lower rate of 21p.
Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said he was
“disappointed” that the Supreme Court did not to grant permission to hear the
case, but said that the ruling “draws a line under the case”, which was
instigated by his predecessor Chris Huhne.
“We will now focus all our efforts on ensuring the future
stability and cost effectiveness of solar and other microgeneration
technologies for the many, not the few,” he said.
Andy Atkins, the executive director of Friends of the Earth, which
brought the challenge along with other solar installers, welcomed the ruling
that the government’s “botched… solar plans are illegal”.
“[The] landmark decision which will prevent ministers
causing industry chaos with similar subsidy cuts in future,” he added. “The
Coalition must now get on with the urgent task of restoring confidence in UK
solar power.”

Urban Energy Solar Thermal
Providing Renewable Energy solutions from solar thermal
systems to heat pumps.
Urban Energy are renewable energy specialists with many
years of experience in the domestic market place, we can offer design, supply
and installation of:
Solar water heating systems
Heat pump systems
With our technical knowledge we will guide you through your
renewable installation from the initial survey, design and fit. We carry out
all the plumbing work, which is required to integrate these systems into your
property including under floor heating and heating distribution system design.
We pride ourselves on our customer service and after sales
customer support.
We also offer solar health checks, repair, fault finding and
annual servicing on any solar thermal installation, which will be carried out by
our qualified engineers.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air and
this is used to heat radiators, under floor heating systems and hot water in
your home. Heat pumps work much more efficiently than a standard boiler system
operating at a lower temperature, offering a co-efficient of at least 1:3
meaning for every 1kw of electricity used to run the heat pump it will provide
at least 3kw of thermal heat energy.
Solar Thermal
We only install the highest quality equipment in our systems
and can offer Evacuated tube and flat plate panels, which when fitted to a twin
coil cylinder can provide up to 70% of your annual hot water demands.
The demands of mankind are increasing within our standard of
living and the strains of our day-to-day consumption are exhausting our planets
natural resources.
65% of our total water consumption is heated and over one
year this amounts to a substantial energy cost.
The sun was described by Thomas
Edison as ‘The energy of the future’ in the 1900’s and remains a viable and
cost sensitive energy source today.
Solar water heating is an effective solution to help care
for the environment we live in and save money on energy bills.
***Come and join us on Saturday 28th April for our Family
Fun Day at our new Eco Barn at Stratford-sub-Castle***
