Solar power is not just an alternative energy source; it’s a wise investment for homeowners in Nottingham. At Residential Solar, we focus on the tangible benefits that solar panels and battery storage can provide, from reducing energy costs to enhancing the sustainability of your home.
enjoying 1499 hours of sunshine!
Nottingham benefits from around 1499 hours of sunlight each year, creating ideal conditions for effective solar energy generation.
the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Our solar systems are designed to capture excess energy when the sun is at its peak. This energy is then stored and can be utilised during the evening or at times when solar production is naturally lower, minimising your reliance on the national grid. This is especially beneficial during power outages or when electricity prices are highest.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Using stored solar energy during peak tariff times helps you avoid higher energy costs, thereby lowering your overall utility expenses. These savings can significantly offset the initial costs of installing your solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Additionally, if you generate more energy than you use, you can sell the surplus back to the grid. This is made possible through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which compensates you for the excess solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties fitted with solar panels and battery systems are often more attractive to prospective buyers who are looking for energy-efficient homes. This can significantly increase the resale value of your property.
desirability in market
As energy costs rise and environmental awareness increases, the demand for homes equipped with renewable energy systems continues to grow.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with battery storage creates an efficient energy system that responsibly uses natural resources. This is crucial for reducing our carbon footprint and combating climate change.
