A Solar Panel Farm the Size of 106 Football Pitches Could Power Up to 14,500 Homes

The Pitstock Solar Farm is a proposed solar power project located in Rodmersham, near Sittingbourne, Kent. Developed by Voltalia UK, the project aims to generate clean, renewable electricity and contribute to the UK’s low-carbon transition. While the exact capacity is undisclosed, plans submitted to Swale Borough Council indicate a significant scale. Potential benefits include job creation, economic stimulation, and community engagement. However, concerns may arise regarding environmental impacts, visual effects, and local opposition. The planning process will involve public consultation to address these issues and determine the project’s feasibility. If approved, the Pitstock Solar Farm could become a significant contributor to renewable energy generation in Kent.

Government Grants and Subsidies for Solar Panels

0% VAT Until the 31st of March 2027

Available since the 1st of April 2022, the government hasn’t been charging VAT for some renewable energy solutions like solar PV panels. However, 0% VAT only applies until the 31st of March 2027, at which point it becomes 5%.

Herne Bay homeowners who want to save money on our solar panel packages, which include the PV panels and installation, you’ve got until March 2027. After this date, the VAT rate is lifted to 5%, and the solar panel installation cost will rise.

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

Since the 1st of January 2020, homeowners can sell excess solar energy to the grid. When your battery storage is full, your household is using little electricity, and your solar PV panels are generating lots of energy, you can receive between 1 and 7.5p a kW/h.

GreenMatch suggests homeowners could earn around £112 per year, give or take. This figure, in addition to reduced energy bills, adds to your annual savings.
