More homeowners to consider systems
With increasing concern for the environment coupled with rapidly rising utility bills, renewable energy systems for homes have grown in popularity in recent years. Experts believe that 2009 will see a record number of people in the UK turning to systems such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting, whilst the economic downturn compounds people’s concerns over the rising cost of energy.
The cost of powering Britain’s homes and businesses reached a record high in 2008 and amid concerns over energy security and the global economic downturn experts predict, after measly cuts, they will rise again during 2009. These concerns will drive more and more homeowners to consider renewable energy systems according to Andrew Moore, Managing Director of BritishEco.com, who believes that domestic renewables will come of age this year.
He says:‘Times are tough for everyone and homeowners up and down the country are counting the increasing cost of energy. With bills at an all-time high, renewable energy systems are more appealing than ever before as homeowners consider long-term savings in light of the credit crunch. The technology has come a long way and domestic renewable systems are now a viable alternative to mains power. Rising utility bills mean that these systems have much quicker payback periods so homeowners can quickly benefit from significant savings of anything up to 70% to their yearly energy costs.
“With financial worries meeting an ever-increasing concern for our environment in 2009 we believe Britain will see an unprecedented adoption of systems from solar PV to ground source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting systems.”
