Solar PV still a viable investment!

There has been much speculation since the introduction of the significantly reduced tariff rates as to whether solar PV is still a viable investment.

PV Efficiency Checks

It is a well-known fact that a solar PV system generates the most energy during the summer months when days are longer and the suns intensity is higher but how do you know if your system is performing to its maximum efficiency at this time?

New Renewable Solution for poultry sites

The process of building new poultry sites can bring costly and frustrating hurdles when you factor in the location of the site, how this will impact the price of a new grid connection as well as the proximity to villages.

Latest Battery Technology Development

Battery technology is an expected and natural progression for the solar PV industry to take. Until recently, battery technology has not been a financial viable option, however, given significant reductions in cost and the recent changes to the solar PV feed-in-tariff incentive more and more people are opting to use battery technology as part of the solution for their energy requirements.

Maximise your Grid Connection

Discover Energy have always maintained positive and strong relationships with the engineers at Northern Powergrid. It is this relationship and our expert knowledge that enables us to find alternative solutions to manage energy requirements on site which reduces new grid connection costs significantly.

Free seminar in Hull will explain why solar PV panels are a sound business investment

Despite a reduction in the amount the government pays for generating solar electricity, farmers and businesses in Hull and East Yorkshire can still drastically reduce their energy costs and a free breakfast seminar will explain why.

DECC responds to consultation with new feed-in-tariff rates

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) are yet to clarify when the changes to the feed in tariff will take effect.

NFU approves new security ball-bearing fastening

There has been a rise in the number of solar panel thefts in the last year, particularly within the Lincolnshire area where 192 panels were stolen over night as reported by Solar Power Portal.

Hull University joins Discover Energy at Head Office

Discover Energy welcomed students from Hull University to our head office in Molescroft, Beverley on 25th November 2015. The students are currently studying a MSC programme on Renewable Energy at Hull University and wished to gain a further insight into the solar industry.

Government indicate further potential cuts to solar

The Government has recently announced the end to Renewable Obligation Certificates for sub 5MW solar parks from April 2016. The announcement comes one year earlier than scheduled a long side confirmation that the government will consult on further tariff cuts to the Feed-in-Tariff scheme above the standard automatic digression model that is currently implemented and are proposing abolishing pre-registrations.
