One of the top reasons to have solar panels installed is protection against the rising costs of heating your property.
Many of us are worried about the costs of heating our homes this winter. In addition to other high living costs, including food, it’s taking up a significant amount of people’s income.
Although analysts are predicting that bills will be down compared to last winter, they might rise again at the start of the year. Furthermore, annual energy bills also remain high by historic standards, according to the BBC: the typical cost for a typical household in the winter 2021 was £1,277.
Consequently, thousands are looking for ways to permanently reduce the cost of their energy bills. Solar PV (Solar Photovoltaic) panels are one of the best ways to do this. These systems convert energy from the sun into electricity, enabling you to save money by harvesting this free energy.
Solar panels are much more efficient than solar tiles, which are installed in an overlapping pattern.
How do solar PV panels actually work?
The system is actually relatively straightforward. Made of a thin layer of semiconducting material layered between a sheet of glass and a polymer resin, when exposed to daylight, the semiconducting material becomes 'energised'. This then produces electricity. Although all panels are made using silicone, it’s important to realise that panels vary when it comes to efficiency.
Although solar panels involve a certain amount of investment, in the long-term they can help you make significant savings.
