BISOL See Increased Sales In The UK
BISOL Group increased sales of photovoltaic modules by 300 per cent in the United Kingdom in November. The sales increase has been accelerate by the new Feed-in Tariff rates, which are planned to come into force on December 12, 2011. BISOL's subsidiary company in the United Kingdom saw instant growth in orders as installers need to complete the installations before the due date.
The most popular BISOL PV modules in UK market are 245 and 250 W monocrystalline photovoltaic modules. The preferred modules are all black and have an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Another aesthetic option for modern PV systems is using a module with transparent back sheet which allows light to pass through. For bigger solar power systems up to 50 kW in size clients mostly choose 227 or 233 W BISOL polycrystalline PV modules.
At the end of October the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change unexpectedly announced the proposal for new Feed-in Tariffs, which would be 51,5 per cent lower for small scale PV systems up to 4 kW. Reduced rates are also proposed for systems between 4 kW and 250 kW. The new proposed tariffs would apply to all new solar PV installations with an eligibility date on or after December 12, 2011. Such installations would receive the current tariff before moving to the lower tariffs on April 1, 2012.
