the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
With solar panels and battery storage, you can capture and store surplus energy that isn’t used during peak sunlight hours. The ability to store energy allows you to utilise the sun’s energy during the day and employ it in the evenings when you are home. This stored energy can also be used at night or on cloudy days, significantly diminishing your dependency on the national grid. This autonomy proves invaluable during power outages or periods of peak tariffs.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Leveraging stored solar energy during peak tariff periods allows you to bypass high energy prices, further reducing your electricity costs. Over time, these savings can counterbalance the initial expense of the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
In some scenarios, excess energy can be sold back to the grid, generating additional income. Initiatives like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) support this, which compensates you for the surplus solar energy you contribute back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties fitted with solar panels and battery storage tend to be more appealing to potential buyers, who often value energy efficiency and potential savings; this can enhance the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy costs continue to escalate and environmental consciousness rises, the demand for properties equipped with renewable energy solutions is expected to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Combining solar panels and batteries creates a sustainable energy system that effectively uses natural resources, which is crucial for mitigating climate change and reducing ecological degradation.

common questions answered
do solar panels require direct sunlight to generate energy?
Solar panels are most effective under direct sunlight but can generate electricity throughout the year, even in diverse weather conditions.
