According to Christopher Flavin, president of the prestigious American institution environmentalist World Watch Institute, the turning point in the adoption renewables has been touched, and their growth will be unstoppable. Instead of talking about industry trends and statistics, I would like to point out some significant curiosity. In a few days England "B & Q, one of the chains for the" DIY "the largest in the UK (similar to Italian Bricofer) put it on sale microprobes wind and solar thermal panels as if they were any item of hardware. And the price, though not exactly for everyone, is not prohibitive. Shelling out a little less than 1,500 pounds (about 2,200 euro) in the more than 300 stores branded "B & Q around the country to buy a small wind turbine able, they promise the sellers to cut the average bill for a family of 30 percent.
In Italy some time now the German DIY chain OBI promotes the project "Solar Energy", which provides for the creation within the OBI stores in a space dedicated to solar thermal and photovoltaic market in Italy from Enerpoint , a company founded in 2001 with headquarters in Desio near Milan. As of June 19, 2004, OBI personnel is available to customers to explain the thermal and photovoltaic systems and their possible use, distribute literature and meet any doubt and curiosity. And 'it can always buy solar systems at all OBI stores in Italy. It also gives advice on possible funding, starting in tariff for PV.
About funding, if the financial institution will not be amended in Parliament, with effect from 1 January 2007 there will be different and significant incentives for those who decide to build a home with low energy consumption: deduction of 55% in three years (compared to 36% in 10 years this year) for installing solar panels and high efficiency boilers and other redevelopment efficiency (windows, roofs, floors, etc...) Including the deduction of 50% of the additional costs for the construction of a completely new building low power consumption.
We can only hope that the incentives to pass free pass parliamentary
