NGPS are pleased to announce that we have been shortlisted into the top eight in two categories for this years National Renewables Awards, at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry hosted by Gaby Logan on September 13th 2012.

With over 5000 registered installers and over 150,000 projects last year to get two nominations into the top eight is a superb acheivement for a family run business.

Our business model of no salespeople, no expensive ECO showrooms and no subcontractors allows us to put quality of installations above all other considerations.

For the second year running we are the only Dorset company at the National Awards Night.
In 2011 at the National Renewable Awards we won Best Installer in the South.

Good luck lads.

We are delighted to announce NGPS Ltd have been awarded a contract to supply and install solar PV, solar thermal and air source heat pumps to the health authority.

We have already completed our first project for a 9.5Kw solar instillation at St Helen’s Medical Centre on the Isle of Wight. This system will reduce the centre’s electricity bill by £1,000 a year for the next 5 years and greatly reduce their carbon impact.

Other projects are set to take place over the next 18 months at various hospitals, doctor’s surgeries and health centres across the south.

NGPS have invested in Thermal Image cameras and training for three of its staff so that we can produces full spectrum images of energy issues in customers homes and for electrical safety.

We believe that we are the only MCS registered renewables company who can provide Domestic and Non Domestic Energy Certificates with full Therrmal Image report , when required, using our own in house fully trained staff in Dorset.

The NGPS “no subcontractor policy” ensures the highest levels of customer care.

After months of uncertainty the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have published changes to the UK feed in tariff set to go ahead on the 1st of August. According to the release the new rate for a basic 4kW system will be 16p per kWh, 50% lower than when the FiT was launched in April 2010. The new tariff, which will now be paid over 20 years instead of 25 years, aims to give a return on investment of over 6% for typical instillations.

Although this reduction to the FiT may effect most small instillations, the DECC have indicated that larger instillations of 25 unit systems are set to benefit from increased application and export tariffs. According to the DECC these reduced changes are set to kick start the industry. The aim is to increase the UKs solar contribution to the national grid from 800MWp to 1,000MWp per year, aiming to achieve 22GW by 2020.

With these targets in place the government and the DECC aims to promote large scale solar pv installations to achieve a higher increase of eco-friendly energy.

The Renscombe Estate (Purbeck Holiday Cottages) now have a seventy two module 14kW three phase solar PV system connected. This system will generate a feed in tariff income of at least £3000 a year whilst reducing the electrical import costs by £1500 a year. This system completely South facing and concealed behind the barn.

In its first week this system was producing over 100 units per day.

NGPS have invested in a company mini digger and plant trailer and a landrover so that ground source heat pump collector circuits can be installed by our own fully trained teams.

We have taken this step as having commissioned several ground source systems for others we have found that subcontractors and builders are not particular enough about the ground loops and the heat pump system performance is impared.

A ground source heat pump system can now be designed, installed and commissioned completely “in house” with NGPS LTD.

Four of our staff are registered under the NPORs (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme).
