Have you noticed more and more homes in your area are making the switch to solar panels? It’s not just a trend, there are real financial, environmental and practical benefits. At SolarTherm UK, we’ve seen first-hand how solar PV systems can transform households by cutting bills, increasing property value and reducing reliance on expensive grid electricity.
This guide will explain why solar panels are becoming the smart choice for thousands of homeowners across Essex, Kent, London and the wider south east.
Cut Costs – Save Money on Energy Bills
The main reason homeowners are choosing solar panels is the huge savings on electricity bills. With volatile prices of grid electricity, generating your own free electricity can save up to 70% on your electricity bills.
Increase Property Value
Solar panels don’t just save you money, they can add long-term value to your home. Over 60% of buyers say they are willing to pay more for a property with renewable energy sources installed. The typical payback period of solar panels is 6-10 years and the lifespan of a solar panel is a minimum of 25 years, often generating electricity efficiently for many years after, giving you free electricity for years after your initial investment is paid back. Even if you decide to sell your home, solar panels remain a valuable investment that boosts your property’s resale appeal by up to 14%.
Become More Energy Independent
Energy security has never been more important than it is now during the cost of living crisis. With a solar PV system and battery storage, our customers can reduce their reliance on the grid by up to 85%, bringing with it protection from rising energy costs and greater independence from the grid. By combining solar panels with battery storage you can store excess electricity generated during the day to be used in the evening or on a low generation day.
Support a Sustainable Future
Beyond the financial savings and benefits, solar panels make a significant contribution to the environment. Solar panels generate renewable energy from sunlight, cutting your household carbon footprint by up to one tonne a year. With climate change at the forefront of global concerns, solar panels are a way to protect the planet and reduce dependence on fossil fuels like coal and gas. Solar panels is a meaningful step towards a sustainable future, and helps in the UK’s journey to Net Zero.
