Solar panels have been fitted to more than 1,300 city council homes in just five weeks instead of five months to avoid Government cuts. The Government cut the amount it pays for surplus energy generated from solar panels from 43.3p at kilo watt hour to 21p a kilowatt hour. To receive the full 43.3p a kilowatt hour, new panels needed to be both installed and registered by midnight last Sunday. Nottingham City Homes was planning to install solar panels on 1,333 homes by the end of March but following the Government's tariff announcement on October 31, it raced to complete the project by Sunday night. The last panels were registered to receive the benefit just minutes before midnight that day. Read more on the Nottingham Post website.
