Solar Power Benefits
REDUCE ELECTRICITY BILLS
With electricity costs being constantly uncertain, purchasing a solar system allows you to harness the sun’s infinite energy and start saving money. By generating your own electricity you are buying less from your utility company, dramatically reducing or eliminating your electricity bill, depending on the size of system you install. According to the energy saving trust UK, the average system will produce 3300kw annually. Plus when your solar system is generating more electricity than you’re using, your meter will literally be running backwards!
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Undoubtedly one the greatest benefits of solar power is, its a form of renewable energy, this means it is not only sustainable but Infinite. It allow us to power homes and business with clean, safe energy from the sun. By using the sun as an energy source, Solar helps the fight against climate change, combating greenhouse gases and dramatically reducing customers carbon footprints. By switching to a renewable energy source like solar power, we can help save our planet and provide brighter future for many generations to come.
ADD DESIRABILITY TO YOUR PROPERTY
Solar Power translates to a home with lower running costs and higher energy performance rating. Therefore when looking into property, for purchase or rent, solar power can be seen as an incentive to any potential investor.
Whilst there is no fixed amount that a solar system may add to a house, research articles in the past (eg this article by EcoExperts) have suggested that solar power can add value to your property, and it certainly separates a property from the rest of the market, making it more desirable.
GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES
With the need for sustainable and renewable energy becoming essential, the government has generated incentives to encourage homeowners and business to go green. The clean energy scheme was initiated in 2010 to provide financial rewards for customers lowering there carbon footprint. The scheme is broken down into two payments a generation tariff and a Feeding-in-tariffs which are both index linked and tax free. These are calculated on each unit of energy that is produced by the solar system and paid accordingly. Although this scheme is a great incentive to any one considering installing solar it is important to notes that the scheme does decrease quarterly therefore we encourage all our customers to take advantage of these incentives ASAP!
PROTECT AGAINST RISING ENERGY COSTS
Most utility companies use fossil fuels as the primary method for energy supply. As these energy sources are not only derived from foreign markets but are also becoming scarce, the cost is often volatile. For much of the last decade, electricity prices have increased steadily. In 2021, average electricity bills were £769, compared to £450 in 2010, representing a 36% real increase (source). Since then, the uncertain world political situation has caused further rises, so solar power is a great way to not only reduce your dependence on utility companies but to guard yourself form future unpredictable price movements.
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
Solar allows you to take back control of your energy supply and gives you energy independence. Rather than paying your electricity retailer for all of your electricity you can generate your own and become less grid reliant with our battery storage options.
