PowerRouter – Self-Generating Solar Energy

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.”

High efficiency heat and lighting from Urban Energy

High efficiency electric heating systems for homes and business!

The future of central heating in the UK will be based around highly efficient, slim line electric units. Urban Energy install the Dimplex heating range that offers the same experience as gas central heating yet with far greater controllability and lower running costs.

The Dimplex LPC range enables the user to control room temperatures at the press of a button and are the natural evolved replacement for the somewhat archaic storage heaters found in many UK properties. This new technology offers an experience like has never been imagined. Each LPC features an on-board thermostat, with built-in transceiver that can operate wirelessly with a wall-mounted remote control.

Optional wireless remote control can be provided which can operate one or more heaters. These state of the art heaters enable LPC convectors communicate through radio frequency to provide whole home comfort.

High efficiency LED lighting for homes and business!

Replacing inefficient halogen bulbs within your home or business with low wattage efficient LED bulbs can significantly reduce electricity use and expenditure.

Roughly 15% of a domestic household’s electricity expense is via lighting and for businesses this ratio of expenditure is even higher.

Traditional halogen lamps although very popular are a very inefficient light source. A 50W halogen bulb actually uses up to 75W of power, due to the transformer. They also have a very short life span meaning that regular bulb changes are required.

Urban Energy installs “Halers H2” lighting systems, which are designed to retain all of the positives of a halogen system, with none of the associated drawbacks. For instance at only 7.9W it uses approximately 1/10th of the power of a halogen (50W) installation. These bulbs are efficient, durable and have a 7-year guarantee.

Urban Energy offers both internal and external lighting solutions to both homes and businesses. Call our office today to arrange an appointment with one of our surveyors.

UK Government Loses Court Appeal

The government has lost its appeal against a judge's ruling that its cuts to solar power subsidies were illegal, suggesting thousands of homes and businesses will now be able to claim the higher payments.

Three court of appeal judges unanimously rejected the appeal from Chris Huhne, the secretary of state at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), who said he would be taking the case on to the supreme court. "We want to maximise the number of installations that are possible within the available budget rather than use available money to pay a higher tariff to half the number of installations," he said.

The decision to prolong the uncertainty that has seen the number of solar panel installations fall since 12 December and was immediately condemned by opponents of the cuts. Green party MP Caroline Lucas said: "Having lost twice in the courts and been roundly humiliated over the shambolic handling of solar policy, it is absolutely beggars belief that Huhne is planning to appeal to the supreme court."

The government announced proposed cuts to the solar feed-in tariff payments in October but in December, a high court judge ruled that the government's handling of the cuts was "legally flawed", after a challenge by a coalition of solar installation companies and Friends of the Earth.

On 19 January, the government said that if it lost the legal case, it would fund the higher rate payments for any panels installed by 3 March, which would affect about 3,700 homes and businesses. A DECC spokeswoman said: "We totally appreciate the uncertainty in the solar industry and hopefully the 3 March date will provide some certainty."

DECC's legal fees have cost taxpayers £58,000 so far, though this does not include the costs of their opponents, which the appeal court said DECC must also pay.

The court of appeal refused permission for Huhne to seek a hearing in the supreme court, but this does not prevent the secretary of state going directly to the higher court. He has 28 days to lodge permission to appeal. Some campaigners have suggested this continued uncertainty may reduce the number of new installations, and therefore reduce the number eligible for the higher feed-in-tariff if the government ultimately loses its case.

John Cridland, director-general of the CBI, said: "The judgment should be used to draw a line under this saga, which saw the government scoring a spectacular own goal."

Gaynor Hartnell, chief executive of the Renewable Energy Association, said the rejection of the appeal prevented a precedent being set which would allowed the government to make retrospective policy changes in future. "The government is well aware that it would be incredibly unwise to reduce payments to renewable energy producers after they had commissioned their projects, as it knows what immense damage that would do," she said. 

The judgment stated: "The question [is] whether parliament conferred a power [to DECC] to make a modification with such a retrospective effect. It did not."

The cuts proposed in October – from 43.3p per kWh of energy generated to 21p – prompted a furious backlash, with the main complaint being the speed of the changes, which were designed to come into effect just six weeks later, on 12 December. Critics also drew attention to the fact that the consultation did not end until 23 December – over a week after the changes were proposed to take place.

In December, a cross-party group of MPs said in a strongly worded report that the reductions were "clumsily handled", had threatened jobs and could have dealt a fatal blow to the scheme, because the changes required homes to meet the C-rated energy efficiency standard before becoming eligible for the solar feed-in tariff.

Court of Appeal Rejects Solar Feed In Challenge

The Government has failed to overturn a decision to block its attempts to reduce solar feed-in-tariffs.

The Court of Appeals today confirmed that it had rejected the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) challenge to a High Court ruling that its move to halve feed-in-tariffs were illegal.

However the Government has already confirmed that it will next seek to approach the Supreme Court in an attempt to introduce a new tariff, saying that current levels are unsustainable.

The feed-in tariff (FiTs) scheme- which pays households with solar panels for the electricity they produce currently pays just over 43p per kilowatt-hour generated. However the Government is concerned that the FiTs scheme has already exceeded its budget for the year and wanted to introduce a new tariff of 21p per kilowatt-hour for all solar panels installed after December 12, 2011.

The on-going challenge to the rulings means that homeowners and the solar industry alike cannot know what rate of incentive they will be able to claim.

Environmentalists and the solar industry had lead a challenge against the cuts, claiming that it threatens industry jobs and jeopardises the Government’s claim to be the ‘greenest’ ever.

Solar panels are particularly popular with electric car drivers as they can often mean drivers can recharge for free using their own green electricity.

Welcoming the news of the rejected challenge to the FiTs rate, Friends of the Earth’s Executive Director Andy Atkins said: "This landmark judgement confirms that devastating Government plans to rush through cuts to solar payments are illegal – and will prevent Ministers from causing industry chaos with similar cuts in future. ”

"Helping more people to plug into clean British energy will help protect cash-strapped households from soaring fuel bills."
