Latest news: Low Carbon Buildings Programme GRANTS (for electricity) have now completely finished - they have been replaced by the new Feed In Tariff or FIT's: Basically you get paid a very high rate for each unit (KWh) of Wind or Solar PV electricity that you generate - even if you use it yourself! This tariff makes Wind & PV Solar systems extremely viable: Payback is now 5 -12 years, after that it's tax-free profit.
All domestic renewable systems installed by SUSTAINERGY are eligible for FIT's as we are MCS accredited and only use MCS accredited equipment. For more info please see www.fitariffs.co.uk.
Products and services
Sustainergy’s fundamental service is designing and installing wind and solar powered electrical systems, usually comprising of wind turbines, PV solar panels, (storage batteries for stand alone/off-grid systems), control equipment and some specialist appliances.
Stand-alone/off-grid system installations involve providing an electricity supply to a building that previously either had none or relied on unsatisfactory power means (e.g. noisy diesel generators or constantly interrupted supply).
With the goverments new FIT's programme SUSTAINERGY has concentrated much attention on PV solar roofs, and did indeed install the FIRST DOMESTIC GRID-CONNECT PV SYSTEM (2KW) in West Wales. SUSTAINERGY works along side BERR/DTI’s regulating authorities to ensure that all PV installations are to the latest standards, both in terms of safety and performance. SUSTAINERGY are MCS accredited installers for both grid-connected and stand-alone (battery) PV Solar systems.
Associated with the Low Carbon grant scheme, SUSTAINERGY are also accredited Wind Turbine installers (having installed the first UK wind system through the Clear Skies scheme – for the explorer "Bear Grylls" on his North Wales island).
SUSTAINERGY are also commissioned by local authorities to provide power in various public amenity sites (e.g. schools, colleges and isolated public conveniences).
The business offers its technical expertise to schools and colleges who are interested in teaching this growing technology, and we also train up the end-user to be able to perform much of the annual service work.
