npower Solar PV
Electricity made by the sun
Solar PV can take a free resource like daylight
and turn it into electricity for your home.
Using the sun's natural energy to generate electricity
In a world of climate change and volatile energy prices, taking advantage of a clean and sustainable energy resource makes sense. Solar PV can take a free resource like daylight and turn it into electricity for your home.
We’ll even pay you for all the electricity you generate plus any electricity you export if you join our Feed in Tariff scheme. It couldn't be easier!
What is Solar PV?
The term photovoltaic refers to the process of creating a current or voltage within a material when it is exposed to light.
Key benefits of Solar PV
- A tax free* income for the electricity you generate for the next 25 years**
- Help save on your electricity bills
- Feed in Tariffs reward you for the electricity you generate and any surplus you export
- Help make a significant reduction in your carbon footprint
What are Feed in tariffs?
The government is encouraging the use of low carbon technologies such as Solar PV, to reduce our impact on the environment. The Feed in Tariff (FiT) was introduced to provide financial rewards to home owners who produce their own sustainable electricity. For more information visit npower.com/feedintariffs.
