Mrs Overall Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Now Eons turned us down, along with Shade greener and South Yorkshire solar panels... SG was the first, took us right up to scaffolding being put up, day before they phoned to say we had shading issues.. Next was SYSP, took us through it all, then sent an email saying our roof was not adequate... Just heard from EON (eventually) they'd aborted it..(after eight weeks) as they don't put them in unless you've got a freehold lease... I'm beginning to think him up there doesn't want us to have em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Sounds like excuse after excuse to stop you from having them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Your roof has to be able to accomodate a certain size of installation otherwise there's not enough money in the FIT for the company... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Dome Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 a little off-topic but... what if these are installed, and you then need a new roof a few years down the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carltoncdx Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 a little off-topic but... what if these are installed, and you then need a new roof a few years down the line? Part of the company's obligation to you is to make sure your roof will last the 25 year FIT period. If it does fail YOU pay the company to remove the panels and then repair the roof and then YOU pay them to put the panels back on. The free panels are a waste of time.

Looks like Shade Greener were right about the shading. Its not just excuses. They make money out of every roof they fit on so why would they turn roofs down? They only turn roofs down that won't pay. Remember that they're the ones having to borrow tons of money to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newgirl04 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 CarltonCDX - you're wrong actually. That's simply not true. If I need to do anything with my roof Shade Greener remove the panels free of charge for at least 3 months and re-install them. I don't have to pay anything. That's built into the agreement.

The banks are only guaranteed their money back on secured loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynsey82 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 A few people I know have signed up for and had free solar panels with my blue skies solar. They had both been turned down by the usual suspects (shade greener) but have been accepted by my blue skies for free solar. There's a link below. I'm still thinking about whether or not to go for it but if i do then i'll be using them http://www.myblueskies.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
