Turn to South Facing for Solar PV.
From April 2010, Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes will become mandatory for new build Social Housing. Many RSL’s already choose to build to Level 4 or 5 to help achieve planning permissions and to reduce tenants’ fuel bills. Both code 5 and 6 require that all on-site electricity must be generated from renewable sources – in fact many builders have elected to utilise PV as the cornerstone renewable technology for their CSH strategy all the way through to Code level 6. Now with the Feed-in Tariff RSL’s have a neat way to finance a developments PV requirements.

The FIT is a very attractive proposition for Housing Associations who will be able to generate an income under a new law that pays a premium price for every unit of electricity generated from PV – fixed and guaranteed for 25 years.
