Image via Photovoltaic Solar PanelsRenewable energy sources such as wind turbines and Photovoltaic Solar Panels sometimes get a bad press because of their aesthetic appearance. Now the results of a new survey should finally put this argument to bed - for Photovoltaic Solar Panels at least!Over 700 people from across the country completed an online survey, which asked them to describe the look of Photovoltaic Solar Panels on domestic roofs. Only seven percent of respondents described them as an ‘eyesore’. The majority of respondents gave the panels a thumbs up describing them as ‘eye catching’ (12 percent), ‘futuristic’ (25 percent) and ‘green’ (56 percent).
Solar Direct Savings (SDS) carried out a survey. They said the results showed how these panels are slowly changing the traditional British roofscape and as a result, becoming more acceptable.
“Photovoltaic Solar Panels are now much more common, and across the UK are the most popular method of generating small scale renewable power,” said (SDS). “Sales have largely been driven by the Government’s current feed-in-tariff, which is very generous. With traditional energy prices continuing to soar, people can expect to see a lot more Photovoltaic Solar Panels over the coming years.”
Regionally, people in the East Midlands were most likely to find Photovoltaic Solar Panels an ‘eyesore’ – though that was still only a minority of eight percent. Yorkshire looks to have really embraced Photovoltaic Solar Panels as more people here than elsewhere described the panels as ‘green’ (48 percent). This comes hot on the heels of another report which listed Sheffield and Leeds as top of a UK renewable energy installation list.
“Since the Government introduced the feed-in-tarrif, over 38,000 domestic users have benefited from Photovoltaic Solar Panels,” said Dave. “The soaring price of traditional energy sources coupled with what is a very generous feed-in-tariff has seen canny purchasers make an investment, which some describe as giving better returns than an ISA.
“The current feed-in-tarrif will be reviewed in April next year – so now is the best time to invest in Photovoltaic Solar Panels and make your home eye catching, futuristic and green!”
A very nice article. Thanks for sharing.
