Evergreen Mac partner Sick in a Bucket, installing Solar Panels on their properties. Evergreen Mac's range of renewable energy services includes:

• Solar Photovoltaics Specialist (unique mounting system)
• Solar Thermal Hot Water
• Ground/Air Source Heat Pumps
• Wind Turbines

Electricity from sunlight
When daylight or sunlight meet a solar cell tension is produced this can be taken off from the surface. The effect is called photovoltaic. A photovoltaic installation does not produce any emissions during the almost wear-free operation. Each photovoltaic installation helps to protect the ecological system on earth and additionally provide future-orientated jobs.

Flexible and Adaptable
In spite of different roof coverings and different solar panels our SOL-50 mounting systems can be integrated in almost all mounting types - on-roof, flat-roof, canopy and façade area and even as roof integration. Even solar panels with different frame height and laminates of different thickness can quickly and safely be treated with our SOL-50 mounting systems. .

Environmental benefit
Photovoltaic looks good concerning the environmental performance evaluation regarding greenhouse gas emissions resulting out of the production, Carbon dioxide being the most important greenhouse to be reduced. Solar installations have less emissions than a combined gas and steam plant and needs only two to three years until it's operation avoids more greenhouse gases than those having been produced during its manufacture.

New FIT scheme proposed
Reduced subsidies for domestic solar electricity production have been proposed as part of an urgent effort to keep the FITs scheme budget under control and reflect the plummeting costs of the technology.

The proposals, subject to consultation, would introduce a new tariff for schemes up to 4kW in size of 21p/kWh – down from the current 43.3p/kWh. Reduced rates are also proposed for schemes between 4kW and 250kW, to ensure those schemes receive a consistent rate of return.

The new proposed tariffs would apply to all new solar PV installations with an eligibility date on or after 12 December 2011. Such installations would receive the current tariff before moving to the lower tariffs on 1 April 2012. Consumers who already receive FITs will see their existing payments unchanged, and those with an eligibility date before 12 December will receive the current rates for 25 years.
