NSA Helping the Environment and the Community

FREE Solar Panels

PV “For Free” programme details

As a result of the recently announced “Feed in Tariff”, New Sandfields Aberavon (NSA) are able to offer the installation of Solar Photovoltaic ( PV) “free of charge” to registered social landlords, local Authorities, Owner/occupiers, community organisations and others in the Sandfields and Aberavon area.

What are PV Panels?
Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof and use solar gain to generate electricity.

 How does the scheme work?

• The system is installed, operated and maintained for the 25 year lifetime of the contract “free of charge”.
• The householder/client can use the free electricity generated by the PV installation.
• The “Feed in “generation tariff is collected by the scheme operator.
• Any unused excess electricity generated will be sold back to the grid.
• The client / householder will receive an annual payment based on the amount of electricity generated.
• The client/ householder may receive an additional payment based on the “profitability” of the overall scheme.
• At the end of the contract period the system becomes the property of the householder/client.
• The client can make a partial investment and collect a “pro rata” percentage of the feed in tariff.

Green Renewable Wales Ltd on whose behalf NSA are promoting this programme, is a not for profit cooperative energy services company registered in Wales.

For the registration and acceptance of a Photovoltaic system “PV For Free” being installed on your roof, you will need to sign an acceptance form which will lead to a legal binding document for the installation. If you are an owner/occupier you will sign up directly to the bona fide organisation. If you are a tenant of a Registered Social Landlord you will have to gain their permission.

By agreeing to install low carbon technologies in your home you are helping the environment by reducing carbon emissions from the electricity generated from a renewable source.
