Brighton residents in danger of missing the best solar opportunity
‘‘Brighton residents have less than two months to benefit from generous Government solar subsidies’’, says Kevin Power, director of Brighton solar company Kraft Renewable Energy.
On August 1st 2012, the Government’s
Solar Feed in Tariff will decrease by 25%, from 21p to 16p per kWh unit. The length of period that the subsidy will be paid will also reduce from 25 to 20 years. On the positive side the export tariff (paid to residents by Energy providers for 50% of the electricity they create) will rise from 3.2p to 4.5p per kWh unit.
By installing solar panels before 1st August, Brighton residents could benefit from an additional £5,000 in savings.
Below we explain the two different scenarios before and after the Solar Feed in Tariff changes on 1st August 2012.
Solar Installation before 1st August 2012
If home owners install solar before the 1st August, Kraft Renewable Energy estimates the current Feed in Tariff can generate an income of £16,115 over 25 years, index linked for inflation. On top of that customers could save up to £4,646 through cutting their electricity bills, more as prices increase, which is very likely. Using an example solar installation cost of £8,500, residents could make back over £20,000.
Solar Installation after 1st August 2012
If home owners install solar after August 1st, Kraft Renewable Energy estimates the revised Feed in Tariff will generate an income of £11,085 over 20 years, index linked for inflation. On top of that customers could save up to £3,948 via cutting their electricity bills. Using again the example solar installation cost of £8,500, residents could make back over £15,033.
Kevin advises Brighton residents to get in touch as soon as possible to discuss Solar further.
Kraft Renewable Energy provides a complete
solar installation service starting with a free solar suitability survey. They promise to give customers a straight forward, honest appraisal on the solar potential for their home. They can also conduct a detailed Energy Efficiency Survey including an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This is free of charge for any homeowner who decides to install solar with Kraft Renewable Energy.

Install Solar before July 2012
Getting a solar installation before July 2012 will allow suitable homes to take advantage of the current higher government ‘feed-in-tariff’ rates, paid on solar power generated:
- 21p Generation Tariff for each unit (or kWh) generated, whether used in the home or not. A well-positioned, averaged-sized (2.5kW) solar PV system can generate 2,200-plus units a year
- 3.1p additional Export Tariff for each unit of surplus electricity exported to the National Grid (estimated at 50% of total electricity generated)
The ‘feed in tariff’ system provides an excellent return on investment, it is index linked and guaranteed for 25 years.
Kevin Power, Managing Director, Kraft Renewable Energy says: “The aim of our new renewable energy centre in Brighton is to give people the knowledge to make the right choices for their homes and make major long-term savings on their energy bills. We’re passionate about green energy and energy efficiency, and want to get people thinking about how they can reduce their carbon footprint and help protect our shared environment for the future.”

AVT’s Diamond Do: Gatwick Diamond Business Awards go Funky
2012 marks the fourth year of the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards and the GDBA (Gatwick Diamond Business Association) pulled out all the stops to host a Black Tie event that will be talked about for years to come.
The awards ceremony has doubled in size since the first event in 2009 and the GDBA wanted a ceremony that would extend beyond the night itself and cement its reputation as one of the regions premier business occasions. The awards are run as a not-for-profit event and proceeds are invested back into promoting and supporting local issues and making sure the organisation is run by the members for the members. Gatwick Airport, Santander and PwC LLP were this year’s headline sponsors.
AVT Connect are delighted to have been involved in the continued success and growth of the event, working in partnership with the GBDA to produce a successful and exciting event that this year included live relay and a post event video.
Rory Bremner was this years’ presenter and managed quite simply to captivate the audience. Many a belly laugh ensured that the ceremony was highly entertaining and will most certainly be talked about by everyone in attendance.
Building on the success of last years event, the GDBA again booked the Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick to accommodate the increased number of 600 guests in the “Millenium Suite”. The adjoining “Bentley Suite” provided the perfect location for an after show party and 70’s disco; AVT themed the area to provide the perfect dancing experience.
Jeremy Taylor, Director of GDBA, decided to have a 70’s funk-themed after-party saying, “Award ceremonies always end too early. Just as everyone is starting to enjoy themselves it’s time to go. As well as being a chance to commend exceptional business practice in Sussex, the awards are always a fantastic occasion for our members to get together, meet other members, socialise and network. We felt that it shouldn’t be limited to just the table they are sitting at.”
AVT were responsible for designing and producing the awards ceremony and after-party including the stage setting, projection, sound, and lighting equipment, themed disco and filming, all managed, expertly by their high-calibre technical team. Also provided was a 3-camera set-up with live relay as well capturing vox-pop interviews with guests, award-winners, sponsors and judges.
A post event video will provide first hand testimony by this year’s participants as to why organisations should get involved in this great awards scheme, and will shortly be available on GDBA’s website.
The evening was an enormous success and AVT would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the winners for their achievements and the Gatwick Diamond Business Association on yet again upping the ante and organising such a spectacular awards ceremony.
