the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Equipping your home with solar panels and battery storage allows you to capture and store surplus energy not used during peak sunlight hours. This means you can gather solar energy while you are away during the day and utilise it in the evenings when you return home. This stored energy can also be used at night or during cloudy days, reducing your dependence on the national grid. Such autonomy proves invaluable during power outages or peak tariff times.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By utilising stored solar energy during high-tariff periods, you can dodge peak energy costs, further reducing your electricity bills. Over time, these savings can more than cover the initial investment in your solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
In some instances, any excess energy can be sold back to the grid, offering an additional income stream. This is made possible through initiatives like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which compensates you for the surplus solar energy you export back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage systems are often more appealing to prospective buyers, who appreciate the energy efficiency and potential cost savings. This can elevate the resale value of your home.
desirability in market
As energy prices continue to soar and environmental consciousness rises, the demand for homes with established renewable energy solutions is expected to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The integration of solar panels and battery systems creates a sustainable energy solution that efficiently uses natural resources. This solution plays a crucial role in fighting climate change and minimising environmental degradation.

common questions answered
Do solar panels require direct sunlight to generate energy?
Solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight but can still generate electricity throughout the year, even under varied weather conditions.
can any home install solar panels?
Homeowners in Leicestershire can generally install solar panels. However, excessive shade, poor roof conditions, or limited space could pose challenges. Our local team is available for consultations to assess your specific needs and provide solutions.
what is the lifespan of solar panels?
Solar panels typically come with warranties ranging from 12 to 30 years and a performance guarantee of up to 30 years, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
is planning permission required to install solar panels?
Most homes in Leicestershire do not need planning permission to install solar panels, thanks to the UK’s 2008 ‘Permitted Development’ rules. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you may need to secure permission.
For Leicestershire residents looking to reduce their energy costs and make a positive environmental impact, solar panels and battery storage present a compelling solution.
