Five great reasons to attend Solar Saturday - June 11th

Here are five great reasons why people should be booking now for our Solar Saturday event:
1. Global CO2 emissions from energy use rose by 5% during 2010
2. Scottish & Southern Energy is the second big energy supplier to hint that gas and electricity prices may go up steeply this year
3. A £35,000+ return on £3,500 investment into Solar PV system after 25 years is possible
4. The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have announced that the Renewable Heat Incentive is expected to be launched in June 2011. It is designed to provide financial support to encourage the uptake of renewable and low carbon heat technologies like solar thermal (hot water) systems.
5. Opportunities now exist for community groups to benefit too
