Zero Carbon House • 26kW Grant Spira • KingspanThermomax • 4kWp Sharp panels • 300L pressurised tank • Wood Pellet Boiler • Solar Hot Water • Solar Electricity • Thermal Store
www.get-renewables.com Renewable Electricity Solar PV
What is Solar Photovoltaic (PV) ? • Panels that harness the sun’s energy and convert it into useable electricity via photovoltaic cells • It does not require direct sunlight • Panels create DC power, which is converted into AC by an inverter • Systems are generally ‘grid connected’ – there is no storage of electricity • Your premises become a ‘mini’ power station www.get-renewables.com
4kW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Produces up to 3,400 units of electricity per year Assuming 50% used; £275 saving per year on electricity bills £100 per year payment for exporting units £580 per year paid for generating green electricity (NIROCs) ------------------ £955 total benefit per year This is higher if more electricity is used, and as electricity prices rise Typical cost: £5,800
Why Solar Photovoltaic (PV) ? • Increasing energy costs and the need to reduce carbon emissions • Proven technology • Photovoltaic concept proven in 1839 • Commercially available since 1959 • Panels installed in 1982 are still producing • Power production warranty to ensure panels are still producing 80% of their original rated output after 30 years
Why Solar Photovoltaic (PV) ? • No moving parts • Minimal servicing • Self cleaning at 15° tilt or more • Save on electricity costs & Generate an income

26kW Wood Pellet Boiler Fully automatic Over 95% efficient Self cleaning Integrated hopper holds equivalent of 100 – 125 litres of heating oil Option to add larger wood pellet silo (3.5 tonne+) Empty ash once per month in winter Install cost £5,000 - £6,000 £2,500 grant available
Wood Pellets Available in 10 & 15kg bags (£2.40 per 10kg) Available in bulk blown form (£2.10 per 10kg) Heating oil @ 58p per litre is 5.8p/kWh, Pellets are 4.4p/kWh 25% saving on fuel costs -------------------- Available from Verdo, Balcas, LandEnergy, Blazers, Laois Sawmills, and Forever Fuels
Biomass Heating for Businesses Not a new technology Automatic wood fuel boilers developed c. 30+ years ago e.g. Austria in some regions more that 50% of all space heating (commercial & domestic) from wood-fired boilers. UK & Ireland catching up.
Renewable Heat Incentive – N.I. • Currently only 2% heat in NI is from renewables • Target is 10% by 2020 • Significant government support needed to meet target • £25m fund allocated by Stormont
Renewable Heat Incentive – N.I. • The Renewable Heat Incentive is for 20 years • RHI paid on heat produced (non-domestic only) • Heat meter(s) fitted to measure units of eligible heat generated • Essential that the biomass boiler will last & operate reliably & efficiently with minimum parts replacement and servicing for at least 20 years
RHI tariffs for Biomass 20 to 99kW • 6.1p per kWh paid quarterly for 20 years 100kW to 999kW • 1.5p per kWh paid quarterly for 20 years • Not normally economical to install boilers above 99kW • Pellets are the most straightforward option
HARGASSNER No.1 boiler manufacturer in Austria and France 100% Family owned business 90%+ of the boiler components are manufactured on site Spares for every boiler ever made (since 1984) are held by Hargassner c.12,000 boilers annually
Pre-fabricated biomass heat plant room www.get-renewables.com
RHI example • Nursing home • Current oil usage of £22,000 per year, boiler efficiency of 85% • Move to 94% efficient pellet boiler saves £5,500 in fuel costs • Annual RHI payments of £14,000 Payback of 3-4 years
Carbon Trust 0% loan • Any business in Northern Ireland can apply for a loan. • Business loans are available from £3,000 - £400,000. The size of the loan offered and its repayment period will be based on the projected CO2 savings of a project, which will be assessed by the Carbon Trust. • £1,000 of loan for every 1.5 tCO2 saved per annum for a project. • Loans are Government-funded and unsecured • No arrangement fees • You have up to four years to repay your loan
Carbon Trust 0% loan • Now closed in England, Scotland & Wales • N.I. page 27/1/2014; • If interested, move quickly • Not available for Solar PV
