Solar energy is rapidly gaining traction as a valuable source of power. While the concept of capturing solar energy is widely discussed, our focus at Residential Solar is on the tangible benefits that solar panel and battery storage systems can deliver. Installing these systems in your home not only reduces your energy bills but also contributes significantly to environmental protection.
utilise 1478 hours of sunshine!
Brackley enjoys an impressive total of 1478 hours of sunshine annually, making it an ideal location for solar energy systems.
the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels equipped with battery storage capture and store surplus energy that is not used during peak sunlight. This stored energy is then available for use in the evenings when you return home or during overcast days and nighttime, decreasing your dependence on the national grid. This self-sufficiency proves invaluable during power outages and periods of high energy tariffs.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Utilising stored solar energy during peak tariff periods allows you to sidestep higher energy costs, reducing your electricity bills. Over time, the savings can significantly offset the initial installation costs of the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
In certain scenarios, you can sell excess energy back to the grid, generating an additional income stream. This is made possible through initiatives like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which compensates you for the surplus solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties outfitted with solar panels and battery storage are often more appealing to prospective buyers, who appreciate the energy efficiency and potential savings, thereby enhancing the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
With rising energy costs and growing environmental consciousness, the demand for homes equipped with renewable energy solutions is expected to rise.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with batteries creates a sustainable energy system that uses natural resources efficiently, crucial for addressing climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
