Did you know that the energy price cap is going up again?
This is happening in January as Ofgem lifts the price cap, putting yet more pressure on households. The rise means the average energy bills are due to go up by 5%.
Such price rises are partly because of volatile political events in the Middle East and Ukraine. It is also the result of higher wholesale costs faced by suppliers. Although analysts are predicting that prices will lower in March, they still continue to be a struggle for millions of people.
There’s never been a better time to transition to solar power.
Although you need to pay for the initial panels and installation, it can quickly prove beneficial.
Choosing to have storage solutions with your solar panels can offer many benefits, which we’ll explore below.
For starters, it will help you break free from a dependence on energy companies. High energy prices are having a big impact on the overall economy, making the cost of living worse for everyone. Along with improving your energy efficiency levels, having solar panels enables you to significantly lower the cost of running your building.
Solar panels work by generating electricity from sunlight, therefore reducing your reliance on the grid and fossil fuels.
We all know the inconvenience of suffering a power cut. When you use a battery to store excess energy, it can be used during power outages or emergencies, therefore ensuring you’re rarely, if ever, left without energy.
Solar panels ensure you have a constant supply of power, making businesses and homeworkers more resilient.
Enhance your energy efficiency with our battery solutions.
Battery storage allows storing excess energy generated during the day for use during the night or when the sun isn't shining. It therefore allows you to achieve energy independence.
When you have a battery, any excess energy generated can be saved until you need it most.
In places with pricing based on when you use electricity, storing solar energy in batteries during low-rate periods and using it during high-rate periods can lead to significant cost savings.
Reduce your electricity costs during long dark evenings.
By storing solar energy, fewer fossil fuels are needed to generate electricity, contributing to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
In remote areas of the UK where the grid isn't accessible or reliable, solar panels with battery storage can provide a reliable source of electricity.
These combined benefits make solar panels with battery storage an increasingly popular choice for both residential and commercial applications, offering advantages linked to economic, environmental and resilience factors.
