Solar panels are saving UK householders thousands of pounds per year in electricity costs and helping us to create a more sustainable planet.
Why Solar Panels?
Using solar panels to create your own electricity and a power storage system to harness that power for when you need it means you will start saving money from the moment your new solar panel system is installed.
By going off the grid, your new energy independent status gives you control over your electricity production and thus protects you from increases in utility costs!
Green Energy
Solar energy produces a clean, green source of electricity. If protecting the planet is important to you and you’d prefer a more environmentally friendly solution to your electricity needs, solar power is for you.
Solar power will reduce your carbon footprint as it doesn’t produce any greenhouse gasses, protecting mother nature and contributing to a more sustainable future.
How do solar panels work?
Solar Panels are a tried and tested, reliable technology that harnesses energy from the sun and turns it into Electricity that you can use to offset or even replace your normal electricity bill. With the use of Solar Panels and storage batteries, you are able to store the electric that has been generated, meaning that if you are making more energy than your house needs then won’t need to use any power from the grid.
All excess energey that is produced is stored to the battery, after sunset, your house will be powered by the energy that is stored in the battery until the battery becomes empty.
Would it work for my home?
Solar Panels can be installed and used in the majority of homes in the UK. The ideal scenario is that your property is a south facing, this will give the optimal direction for solar panels. This ensures that the solar panels are seeing the sun when it is at its most intense for the longest period of time.
However, this doesn’t mean that east or west facing roofs can’t also be suitable for solar panels. If your roof faces another direction, you can likely still see plenty of benefit from installing a solar array. East and west facing roofs are also suitable for solar panels and will still see a good deal of energy generation throughout the course of the day. For example, an east facing roof will be exposed to sunlight in the morning whereas a west facing roof will take in more sunlight in the afternoon and evenings.
