the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Our systems allow you to harness excess solar energy during peak sunlight hours and store it for later use. This enables you to utilise solar power in the evenings or at times when you’re more likely to be home, decreasing your dependence on the national grid. This can be particularly advantageous during power outages or when energy prices are at their highest.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By tapping into stored solar energy during periods of high tariffs, you can avoid more expensive energy costs, which helps to lower your monthly electricity bills. The accumulated savings over time can significantly outweigh the initial setup costs of the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Moreover, if you generate more energy than you use, you can sell the surplus back to the grid. This is enabled through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which compensates you for the additional solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Potential buyers are increasingly seeking properties outfitted with solar panels and battery storage systems. These buyers value energy efficiency and the prospect of lower utility costs, which can enhance the resale value of your home.
desirability in market
With rising energy costs and a growing emphasis on environmental responsibility, the demand for homes equipped with renewable energy systems is expected to climb.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Combining solar panels with battery storage creates a highly sustainable and efficient energy system. This integration is vital for addressing climate change and reducing ecological degradation.

common questions answered
do solar panels need direct sunlight to generate energy?
Solar panels operate most efficiently in direct sunlight but are designed to generate power all year round, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

While most homes in Melton Mowbray are suitable for solar panel installations, factors like excessive shade, poor roof conditions, or limited space may require specific solutions, which our expert team is ready to provide.
what is the lifespan of solar panels?
The solar panels we install come with warranties ranging from 12 to 30 years, along with a performance guarantee of up to 30 years, ensuring long-term dependability and performance.
is planning permission required to install solar panels?
In most cases, homes in Melton Mowbray do not need planning permission for solar installations under the UK’s 2008 ‘Permitted Development’ rules. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you might need to obtain permission.
