Note 1. The solar panels are owned by the vendors and ownership would transfer to the new owners. The panels were installed in late 2011 by a company called Rodspark. The contract is with the government and is currently administered through EoN but any energy company can be used. The contract term is 25 years and runs to 2036.
There is a meter in the garage and readings are submitted quarterly. Over the past 4 years the panels have generated a yearly average of 4,101KwH of electricity. This has given an annual tax free income of ?2,082. For each KwH of electricity generated the owners are currently paid 50.67pence plus a supplemental 0.037pence on 50% of the KwH generation as an assumed feed in to the grid.

Note 2. Communal charges. The new owners will be required to become shareholders of the Management Company. Currently each property is charged a proportion of the actual annual expenditure which is quite low. Generally the costs are shared by the seven houses except for the gate costs for No. 1 as they have their own gate system.
