The present unrest in the Middle East has hiked the price of oil up to high levels, which could well mean increases in prices for both organisations and for members of the public also. As far as heating goes, it is likely that the householders who only have oil for heating will probably be directly affected by increases, but the charge for other types of heating like gas and electricity could be influenced by rising ancillary outgoings, like transport and heating for premises. It could well transpire that these high oil prices will be with us for some time and so there could well be no reduction in prices, so putting pressure on home economy.
There could be those home owners that decide they must do something meaningful about this situation and could well investigate Solar Energy Panels as one opportunity. The home owners should investigate about the Solar Energy Prices for fitting of a Solar Energy Panels set up and see that for a typical home the Solar Energy Prices are in the region of ?12,000. While this could seem like a lot of money to commit to a green energy project, there are paybacks in that the domestic customer can receive payment for each kW of electricity their Solar Energy Panels generate as well as being paid if they distribute any surplus electricity to the national grid. This payment can be in the region of ?700 per year and they could also save in the region of ?100 per year on their electricity outgoings, so while their payback period could be many years, they can make clear savings in the short term and so possibly restrict the effects of the oil price hikes to their transport outgoings. Even if the domestic customer doesn’t have the Solar Energy Prices sort of reserves available, they could feel strongly enough to go for a loan to pay for the Solar Energy Panels project. This could well make them feel as they are doing something definite to help the planet, while at the same time installing a low cost electricity supply that could well go on providing cheap electricity for many years to come.
