the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels with battery storage allow you to harvest and retain excess energy not used during peak sunlight hours. This enables you to utilise this energy in the evenings when you return home or during cloudy and night-time periods, greatly diminishing your reliance on the national grid. Such autonomy is particularly valuable during power cuts or in periods of high energy tariffs.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By using stored solar energy during peak tariff times, you can dodge high energy costs and reduce your electricity bills significantly. The savings accrued over time can help offset the initial outlay for the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Additionally, surplus energy can be sold back to the grid, generating an extra income stream. This opportunity is supported by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for the excess solar energy you export back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage are typically more attractive to buyers, who often value the energy efficiency and cost savings. This can elevate the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy prices continue to escalate and environmental consciousness increases, the demand for homes with existing renewable energy solutions is expected to grow.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Combining solar panels with batteries creates an eco-friendly energy system that makes efficient use of natural resources. This is essential for combating climate change and minimising environmental degradation.

common solar questions answered
do solar panels require direct sunlight to generate energy?
While optimal in direct sunlight, solar panels are still capable of generating electricity throughout the year, even in varied weather conditions.
can any home install solar panels?
Homeowners in Daventry can generally install solar panels. However, certain challenges such as excessive shade, poor roof conditions, or limited space might arise. Our local team is prepared to offer a consultation to evaluate your specific conditions and provide solutions.
what is the lifespan of solar panels?
Typically, solar panels come with warranties ranging from 12 to 30 years and include a performance guarantee that extends up to 30 years, ensuring long-term efficiency and dependability.
is planning permission required to install solar panels?
For most properties in Daventry, installing solar panels does not require planning permission due to the UK’s 2008 ‘Permitted Development’ rules. However, permission might be necessary if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building.
For Daventry residents keen to reduce their energy costs and impact on the environment, solar panels and battery storage represent an effective solution.
