Welcome to Decerno

With the continued volatility of fuel prices and the fact that the average citizen has become more environmentally aware, we in the UK have seen phenomenal growth within the solar power industry. This, backed by government incentives, such as the Feed in Tariff, provides the opportunity for consumers to invest in their future, reduce their daily fuel bills, earn from their investment, and improve our environment.

Introduced in April 2010, the government’s ‘Feed in Tariff’ provides consumers with the opportunity to earn an income from the solar energy that they generate, and an additional payment that is returned to the National Grid (based on an agreed formulae of 50% of energy generated is consumed and 50% is exported to the grid). So what does this mean? Well, if you have invested in solar panels you get a quarterly payment from your energy company and a reduced energy bill (you will consume some of your energy generated).

This allows you to sit back and watch your investment in solar panel’s provide you with a monetary return, a definition of a true investment. Such investments have attracted a hive of activity from City investors, looking to increase their income by tapping into this lucrative scheme – The Feed in Tariffs. It is truly an unusual investment opportunity as it is indexed linked, guaranteed for 25 years backed by a Government. It is also unique remarkable investment as it has many of the characteristics of a pension and/or annuity – this is what is attractive to the city.

You may have seen, heard or been approached by companies providing ‘free’ solar installations, whilst we at Decerno are able to offer this incentive, we are not sales people looking to grow City investor’s wealth, we are family people looking to help grow your investment.

Whilst a ‘free’ installation provides you with the ability to reduce your electricity bills without investing your own money, a free system should not be judged with what you get for free but what you give up! – 25 years of index free tax free income on electricity generated by your solar panels. It also may produce some complexity on your property sale as you sign a 25 year agreement with the ‘free solar panel’ provider – alternatively own panels will be an asset – enhance sale value and prospects.

The ‘free system works for some people, but when you look at the fact that you can repay your investment through the money that is generated via the solar panels within an average of 8 years, and still reduce your daily electricity bills, it sometimes makes sense to look at the wider picture.

As you are investing in your property, and solar energy is proven to provide a return on your investment, you maybe pleased to know that you could be eligible for additional finance through your current mortgage lender, providing you with the ability to use your current low mortgage rate to purchase the solar system and be a part of this unique investment opportunity. The returns are such that you could/should have sufficient surplus income to pay a large bill such as your council tax.
