What is the 100% government backed income scheme?

  • The government needs 30% of UK electricity to come from renewable energy by 2020.

  • To achieve this goal, homeowners are paid by their energy suppliers to generate solar energy.  They are also paid to export solar energy. And of course homeowners benefit hugely from lower bills by generating their own energy.

  • Generation tariff + export tariff of £5,540 on a typical Exeter home PLUS savings on your electricity bill of £5,999 (updated 29 November 2017).

  • Being situated in south west England, Exeter is one of the best places in the country to install solar panels.  This makes installing solar panels in Exeter a great financial and environmental investment.

    Totnes Energy have done a superb job fitting a 15 panel system to our challenging roof shape. The team were highly professional, hardworking and very helpful & friendly. We have obtained a high quality system at an extremely competitive price and can’t fault the workmanship or service. The whole process was made effortless with Andrew’s assistance helping us through all the technical aspects. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Totnes Energy. Thanks for a great job.

    Mr & Mrs A, 3.9kWp LG solar energy system; Rattery, South Brent, Devon

    We highly recommend Totnes Energy for their in-depth knowledge of the product options in a PV installation along with the comparative quotations. This was very helpful in deciding the most suitable option balanced between our affordability and the energy delivery, cost and eventual savings of a system. Relating to previous quotes from other suppliers, Andrew’s was not only the cheapest but he out-shone the others with his professionalism and realistic assessments. The installation of the panels and all the electrical work was to a high standard completed in a day by two teams who were considerate and amiable. A smooth and enjoyable experience to actualizing a worthwhile investment. The addition of the ‘immer­Sun’ monitor and controller to the system has engaged the household with a daily connection to a working partnership with the raw energy of the sun. We recognize in gratitude it’s sustaining presence and now with PV on the roof in a tangible way this technology is sustaining our household.

    When deciding on having a solar installation I had several firms quote for this job.  Andrew from Totnes Energy was the most professional and his wealth of knowledge on solar power made me decide to give him the job.  The whole process was organised to the last detail and the two installers were first class.  The electrician was able to hide all of the cables.  I am very happy with the work done and the ongoing support.  I would recommend Andrew and his staff to anybody considering a solar installation.

    Nursing home, 32kWp Solar-Fabrik solar PV system; Plymouth, Devon

    I was very impressed with the information provided and the care taken to find and explain the relative benefits of each of the possible systems. The time available to ask questions was very generous. The installation itself was carried out on time and with competence, confidence and good will. It was a pleasure to meet a team who took such pride in doing their work and who were looking to create a benefit, by its very nature, to wider society.

    Mrs S, 3.27kWp Sunforte BenQ solar PV system; South Brent, Devon

    Many thanks for your work in designing and arranging our solar panel system. Both the fitters and the electrician were really good – the end result not only looks good, but is working better than I had expected. Even today, with it being overcast and dull, we have managed 500 Watts for a significant part of the day. Since the ‘switch-on’ on Wednesday our Electric meter has remained in credit, which great in early March! Putting the inverter in the loft is a much better idea than I have seen in friend’s houses – lots of room up there! and the small cable running through the house is totally discrete.

    Mr E, 4kWp Seraphim solar PV system; Kingsbridge, Devon

    Thank you very much for the service that you and your team provided in installing the solar panels to our property this week. We were very impressed with the professionalism of you, the installation team and JD Electrics.

    Mr & Mrs L, 2.6kWp Sunforte BenQ solar PV system; Plymouth, Devon

    We have been most impressed by the service and attention to detail by Totnes Energy. At all stages we received clear and well-informed advice; installation was carried out efficiently and courteously and follow up, regarding setting up the feed-in tariff, carried out personally so that all questions could be addressed and paperwork completed. We will certainly recommend Totnes Energy to our neighbours and friends.

    Mr VE, 4kWp Seraphim solar PV system; Kingsbridge, Devon

    We were impressed by your approach to our enquiry re solar panels. Your knowledge and the information you gave made us feel that you cared about our request, which was reassuring. Your technicians on the installation were consistently hard working and efficient, including the electrician who managed to insert the three extra pieces of equipment in our control box where there did not seem to be space for any of them. We have had no problems with any of the equipment since installation and the WiFi connection is working as it should. Although we have not managed to have a visit from tree surgeons yet, our panels have produced about 55 kWh in the past fortnight, even though all the panels on the south-facing roof have suffered from considerable shading … The three west-facing have out-generated the other ten every day. We look forward to years of production and lower electricity bills.
