the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels with battery storage enable you to capture and store surplus energy not used during peak sunlight hours. This allows you to absorb sunlight while away during the day and utilise this energy in the evening when you return home. This energy can also be used at night or on cloudy days, significantly reducing your dependence on the national grid. Such autonomy proves invaluable during power cuts or high-tariff periods.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Utilising stored solar energy during high-tariff periods allows you to bypass peak energy prices, further reducing your electricity costs. Over time, these savings can counterbalance the initial expense of installing the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
In some instances, excess energy can be sold back to the grid, creating an additional income stream. Initiatives like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) enable this, which compensates you for the surplus solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage often appeal more to potential buyers, who may value the energy efficiency and potential cost savings. This can elevate the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy costs continue to escalate and environmental awareness grows, the demand for homes with established renewable energy solutions is expected to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Sustainable Energy Use: Integrating solar panels and batteries forms a sustainable energy system that efficiently utilises natural resources, crucial in fighting climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
