Solar panels are creating what many are calling a ‘rooftop revolution’ in the UK. They’re now one of the best ways to future-proof your property.
Thanks to rising energy bills, it’s become increasingly common to see both homes and commercial buildings with solar panels installed. In fact, recent numbers have shown that around 4,000 are being installed every month in the UK. This is partly due to the energy crisis encouraging more people to look for alternative ways to power their homes. Here at Jem Energy Ltd, we want to help you beat the energy price hike.
Is my home suitable for solar PV?
Not all properties are suitable for solar panels, as they largely need south facing roofs. However, there are thousands of homeowners with houses suitable. Ideally, you should have an unshaded, south facing roof for maximum electrical output.
East or west facing roofs could still be considered, but those facing north are not recommended. This is because a system facing east or west will yield roughly 15-20% less energy than one facing directly south.
Studies have found that solar panels can cut 90% off your energy bills, and that proportion is growing as bills continue to rise.
Surprisingly, the use of solar energy has been around in Britain since the 1950s, when it was used for a variety of applications. Today, this system is much more affordable than you might imagine, and can save you significant amounts of money in the long term.
Harness the power of the sun at your home.
If you’re ready to make the switch to solar energy, Jem Energy Ltd provides exceptional support throughout the process. Our expert technicians both provide the best technology and exceptional customer support.
Reduce your carbon footprint and save money at the same time.
As you’re probably aware, once installed solar panels can save you significant amounts of money. Better yet, if you have an energy storage system, you can even make money from the energy you produce.
Britain is also seeing increasing numbers of heat pumps being installed with a green revolution finally taking off in the UK. Fortunately, there are a number of Government grants to make it more affordable to have this type of technology installed, including what’s known as BUS (the boiler upgrade scheme).
Jem Energy Ltd is committed to installing solar panels in a range of locations.
We love working with homeowners to help you go greener and save money on your heating and electricity bills.
Our solar PV (Photovoltaic) installations work by installing thermal energy into electricity. Benefits of this system include the fact they require minimal maintenance and are a completely green and clean energy source.
Panels are guaranteed for 30 years and you can get paid for the energy you don’t use through SEG (Smart Export Guarantee).
Launched in 2020, SEG is a government-backed initiative that requires some electricity suppliers to pay small-scale generators (known as SEG Generators) for low-carbon electricity which is exported back to the National Grid. Certain criteria need to be met in order to qualify for this scheme.
You can be assured that all our installers are MCS accredited and we provide insurance backed guarantees for all work for your peace of mind. MCS is an industry-led quality assurance scheme, designed to demonstrate the quality and reliability of installation companies.
