Renewable Energy
Background:
Solar power is rapidly becoming the go-to energy solution for UK homeowners. Integrated solar panels offer a seamless way to generate clean energy without compromising the aesthetic appeal of your property. This blog explores their key benefits, costs, and real-world application to help you decide if they’re right for your home.
This article explores how solar panels work, the savings they offer, and why now might be the best time to invest.
Our approach:
1. Save on Energy Bills
With a well-designed system, solar panels can reduce electricity bills by 50–70%, depending on how much energy your household uses and when it's consumed. Typical annual savings include:
Over the lifespan of a solar system, which is typically 25 years or more, these savings can add up to thousands of pounds.
2. Daylight Efficiency
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, so they aren't limited to sunny weather. Even on overcast days, they can capture and convert light into usable energy, making them ideal for the UK's variable climate.
3. Earn Money Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
Your system will often produce more electricity than you use, especially during peak daylight hours. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows you to sell excess energy back to the National Grid. This can add £220 to £320 annually to your savings, making solar panels even more cost-effective.
4. Increase Your Property Value
Energy-efficient homes are increasingly desirable. Properties with solar panels not only attract buyers but can also increase resale values by up to 2%.
5. Choose Quality with Viridian Solar Panels
