the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels paired with battery storage allow you to collect and store energy that isn’t used during peak sunlight hours. This energy is then available for use in the evening or during less sunny days, drastically reducing your need to rely on the national grid. This level of autonomy is especially beneficial during unexpected power outages or during peak energy costs.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Utilising the energy stored during periods of high tariffs helps you avoid peak electricity prices, significantly cutting your power costs. The financial savings you accumulate can substantially offset the initial investment in the solar and battery setup.
potential for revenue
If your system produces more energy than you use, you might also gain an additional revenue stream by selling the surplus back to the grid. Initiatives like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which offers payments for the solar energy you export, make this possible.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties fitted with solar panels and battery storage are often more appealing to potential buyers, appreciated for their energy efficiency and the cost savings they promise. This enhancement can increase the resale value of the property.
desirability in market
With rising energy prices and heightened environmental awareness, the demand for homes with renewable energy systems is likely to continue growing.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Combining solar panels with battery storage creates an efficient system that maximises the use of natural resources. This is vital for combating climate change and reducing the ecological footprint.
