My first blog, I always used to think it would be a little intro on Cougar Solar but alas it isnt. That would come at a later date. I bring you good news today. While browsing the net, I found some interesting reads. Some of you might have heard of them before now but it doesnt hurt to bring it up again.

Did you know that "from 1st April 2010 you could be eligible to receive cash for each unit of electricity you generate using solar technology"? Did you also know that "you can make money on the excess electricity you give back to the Grid"? Absolutely fantastic news if I say so myself. However, don't take my word for it. Feel free to get more information from the energy saving trust www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Generate-your-own-energy/Solar-electricity accessed 12.03.2010.

Cougar Solar sells a range of solar products. The most relevant product for this blog is the solar home systems. They come in two types, the off grid system or the on grid system. The difference between both is that with the off grid systems, all appliances attached to the system are powered exclusive of the national grid. With the on grid system, you can use it in addition to electricity from the national grid.

When you sign up to sell your electricity to the national grid, there are currently two tariffs:

• Export tariffs: You are only paid for the electricity that is exported back to the electricity network (you are not paid for any electricity you use).
• Generation tariffs: You are paid for all of the electricity that your system has generated even if you use it in your own home.

I'm sure if you are like me, you are getting excited if not already excited from the thought of getting paid for generating your own energy. Something else that pleases me most about this is that we would be doing our own part for our environment, for our world. I know that you might say you are just one person, but imagine the impact if every person in the world did a little thing for our world.
