(UK)  Feed-in tariffs tipped to boost energy saving technology, Rapid Electronics , 7th September 2010 An expert has suggested that the government’s latest scheme to boost the production of renewable electricity could lead to a surge in the number of people adopting energy saving technology.

Renewable Energy Association technical director Stuart Pocock observed that sales of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to homeowners and commercial sector firms have increased markedly since the new feed-in tariff drive began earlier this year.
“It is appearing to be of interest for certain parts of the market,” he explained. “We’re starting to see some good commercial schemes coming through.”

Mr Pocock added that he remains “reasonably confident” that PV technology will continue to sell well over the coming months and pointed out that a number of public buildings including hospitals and schools are also taking advantage.
