Micro-Hydro Solar - PV News: » PV grants scheme:  The low carbon building programme (LCBP) grants scheme, will to be available until June 2010, by which time the long-awaited feed-in tarriff should be in operation. For PV, the LCBP scheme offers £2000 per kWp.  This is subject to an overall maximum of £2500 per household, regardless of how many technologies (ie wind, water, solar etc) are taken up.  Further, installations should be in place within four months of a grant offer being made. Grants will be allocated on a first come, first served basis untill the money runs out - there will be no monthly scramble - and it is emphasised that the conditional energy saving measures required under the scheme should be in place before an application is made. Check the details on www.lcbp.org.uk   Please note that forest:engineering will not be installing PV systems under the LCBP grants scheme.                                                                             Contact: Ian Tuer Forest Engineering Tulliemet Pitlochry PH9 0NY 01796 482408 - 07712 182142 Fax: 08715 227495 ian@forestengineering.co.uk Links: » AlternativeEnergy.com [Renewable Energy Advice] » EST Website   [PV grant information] » Solar Century   [Sunstation supplier] » RSPB Energy  Good Energy  Npower Juice    [Energy suppliers / buyers] » Earthship Fife  [recycled building using renewable energy]
