A Judicious Investment   For the private individual Today, with methods differing from one country to another, photovoltaic tile installations can enjoy significant grants.       In France in 2005, these grants work on two levels: • Investment, awarded grants by your regional council and a tax credit   of 40% of the material costs (with a total sometimes up to 80% of   the initial investment). • The electricity produced, which is purchased by EDF (Electricité   de France) with a bonus. Additionally, should the property be sold, the photovoltaic installation will enhance its value accordingly.           For the professional         For the professional, offering a roof with integrated photovoltaic tiles means: • Integrating at your own pace know-how which may possibly    be an obligation tomorrow. • Standing out and attracting customers that are increasingly aware    of environmental issues. • Enhancing your skills and your invaluable image as a responsible professional.           On reflection… the photovoltaic tile is not only the reflection of your serious contribution to the environment but also a sensible financial decision.
