10 benefits of solar PV
The rise of Solar PV since the turn of the century has been the single biggest success story in the world of renewable energy.
If a homeowner or business owner in the UK is looking for a way to upgrade their sustainability whilst also accessing a world of attractive financial incentives, Solar PV systems are the obvious choice, and it is no coincidence that these panels are such a common sight in every village, town, and city across the nation.
But what is it that make solar PV such an attractive investment? It’s time to find out, as we look at 10 of the biggest benefits of a Solar PV system.
10 Benefits of Solar PV Panel Installation
1. Saving Money
With traditional energy bills sky-high, solar PV has never been a more attractive investment than it is today. Depending on the number of panels you install, Solar PV will either significantly reduce your dependency on grid electricity or eliminate it completely.
The moment your system is installed, your investment begins to pay itself off as your monthly bills plummet, and any energy you don’t use can be sold back to the grid, meaning absolutely nothing goes to waste!
2. Protect yourself from future energy price rises
Ever feel like you are a hostage to the energy companies and your future financial success or failure rests in their hands? You are not alone. Thousands of others across the UK are in the same boat and many are turning to renewables for energy security purposes.
Take back control with Solar PV panels that protect you against future price increases and let you plan your future on a sound financial footing.
3. Fit and Forget
With a Solar PV system than automatically creates, converts, and distributes energy to the areas that need it most, this truly is a set and forget energy solution.
As the property owner, there is very little that you need to think about once your system is in place, and all maintenance will be taken carte of under our industry leading warranty protection and guarantees.
4. National Grid Payback
Any electricity that you generate via Solar PV that is not used at the time or stored in a battery can be sold back into the National Grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme.
This scheme was brought in by the UK Government to reward those who invested in renewable energy and contributed to the nations efforts to reduce carbon emissions. All large energy companies must offer an SEG tariff, but rates do vary.
5. Save the planet
By installing Solar PV panels, you are already saving your wallet from the threat of energy bills, so why not save the planet at the same time!
Installing Solar PV is one of the best ways to slash your carbon footprint and do your part in the global battler against climate change.
6. Benefit from an Economy 7 Tariff
An Economy 7 Tariff is a two rate energy tariff where prices are higher during the day, when demand is highest, and much cheaper during the night.
Luckily for you, Solar PV panels generate most of their energy during the day as well, meaning you will have to purchase little or none of your energy at the higher tariff rate and anything you do need to purchase through the night can be bought at a much lower rate.
7. Use energy at night with battery storage
During the day, it is very difficult for a domestic property to use all of the energy being produced by a Solar PV system. A battery allows you to store this excess energy and use it in the evening and at night when production is lower.
Battery installation alongside Solar PV panels is a powerful combo and a must for anyone looking to achieve complete energy independence.
8. Increase Property Value with Improved EPC
Energy efficiency is a big priority for the modern property buyer, and installing solar panels can significantly boost the worth of your home or business premises.
Not only do the panels themselves have inherent value but installation can give a big boost to your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), one of the first things a potential buyer will look at if you ever decide to sell.
9. Join the Community
A group of future-savvy property owners who are saving hundreds of pounds a month on their energy bills and doing their part to protect our planet? Sounds like a group you’d want to be a part of!
The Solar Panel community is growing fast, and this is your chance to get involved and join the renewable revolution.
10. Superb Investment
For all the reasons mentioned above, and many more besides, Solar PV panels are one of the best investments that it is possible to make as a property owner.
With global market uncertainty and higher tariffs on fossil fuels on the way, acting now will future proof your home for years to come.
