The BBC breakfast journalist, Phil Lavelle, has visited an Intelligent Energy Solutions customer in Loughborough this morning.
Stephen Adshead talked about how he has made a very shrewd investment taking advantage of the governments new feed in tariff. Phil contrasted this against another homeowner who agreed to a free solar panel installation.
In summary, a free solar panel installation allows the homeowner to save some money off there electricity bill. A purchased system enables the home owner to actually profit from the installation, with much greater financial returns than the free system.
Stephen talked about how the system would generate over £1500 per year in annual revenue, with a free installation the installer takes the vast majority of this benefit and the homeowner has to sign a long 25 contract agreeing the lease of his roof space.
