Stiebel Eltron launches into photovoltaic installation

Merseyside-based green energy manufacturer Stiebel Eltron has launched a solar photovoltaic (PV) product range called Tegreon which is already Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) approved.
The company has already made a name for itself in heat pumps.

The Tegreon range will carry an extended warranty of 10 years and will have guaranteed performance levels of 90 per cent of original specification for 12 years and 80 per cent for 25 years. Most solar providers limit performance warranties to 80 per cent for 20 years, said Mark McManus, UK managing director of the German-owned company.

The PV panels will be aggressively marketed to the private housing sector, social housing, public bodies, such as hospitals, schools and councils and private businesses looking to take advantage of the FiT, said Mc Manus.
Stiebel Eltron is offering a free energy efficiency report of any building in the UK to detail how a property can best ‘go green’.
“This will include the cost, the carbon savings and what the pay back level is likely to be,” said McManus.
Under the FiT scheme, a typical 2.5kW well-sited solar PV installation could generate up £900 a year and save up to £140 a year on electricity bills, the company estimates.
