Due to the energy crisis, the number of homeowners having solar panels installed is at its highest in seven years.
Although energy bills are likely to fall in the coming months, they’re still extremely expensive. The war in Ukraine is continuing to have an impact and it’s unlikely to come to an end any time soon. Many businesses, including those in the hospitality sector, have struggled to keep going due to a rise in bills.
If you’re considering introducing solar panels to your property, you’ll enjoy a number of advantages, with one of the most important being a reduction in energy bills. Because solar panels generate electricity from the sun's energy, they can offset your electricity bills. By generating your own power, you can reduce the amount of energy you purchase from your utility company.
You’ll also be future-proofing your home or business, ensuring you don’t have to worry about energy price fluctuations in the coming years.
Break free from expensive energy companies.
You also won’t have to worry so much during power outages. By generating your own power, you become less dependent on the utility company and the grid. Get a battery storage system and you’ll always have ‘juice’ available. You can even make money for the energy which you produce!
A solar panel installation can also increase the value of your property.
Various studies have shown that homes with solar panels sell faster and at a higher price than homes without them. This makes sense since it means that the new owner will pay less in the long run.
Unfortunately, there aren’t currently any grants for this type of installation. Solar installations were at their height in late 2015 as households took advantage of lucrative government payments through the FiT scheme. Unfortunately the scheme was closed entirely in 2019. However, solar panels are becoming much cheaper than they were in the past.
Make your home more environmentally friendly.
Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of energy. Because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps combat climate change. Solar panels are a great investment in both your financial and environmental future.
Is it worth having solar panels in Britain?
You might be concerned that it’s not worth introducing them in the UK. Many people have a misconception that it’s only worth it in sun-drenched countries like those in the Mediterranean.
However, that’s not the case: solar panels work extremely well in Britain, even in busy urban environments like London. With summers becoming hotter over the past few years, they’re a brilliant long-term investment.
Even in below-freezing weather, solar panels will still be working to turn sunlight into electricity.
That’s because they absorb energy from our sun's abundant light, not heat. In fact, cold climates are actually good for solar panel efficiency.
