As energy costs continue to increase, and environmental concerns grow throughout the general population, research and investment in renewable energy technologies is at an all time high. Probably one of the most efficient and popular of the new energies is solar power; while this technology has been used for many years in a number of European countries, in the UK it is a young industry. Despite recent changes to the government feed-in tariff, small and large scale investment is expected to continue to increase in the UK. UK installers, therefore, are clamouring to find suppliers with industry experience who can reliably supply the UK market.
