the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels and battery storage enable the capture and storage of surplus energy during peak sunlight hours. This energy can be used in the evenings or during nighttime and cloudy days, significantly reducing your reliance on the national grid. Such autonomy is invaluable during power outages or high tariff periods.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By using stored solar energy during peak tariff times, you can dodge high energy costs, further lowering your electricity bills. Over time, these savings can significantly offset the cost of the initial setup of your solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Sometimes, you can sell excess energy back to the grid, generating an additional income stream. This is supported by programmes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which rewards you for the surplus solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes equipped with solar panels and battery storage are more attractive to potential buyers, who often value energy efficiency and the associated cost savings. This can boost the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy costs continue to escalate and environmental awareness increases, there is a growing demand for homes equipped with established renewable energy solutions.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with batteries creates a sustainable energy system that effectively utilises natural resources, crucial for tackling climate change and reducing environmental harm.

common questions answered
do solar panels need direct sunlight to generate energy?
Although solar panels are most effective under direct sunlight, they are fully capable of generating electricity throughout the year, even in varying weather conditions.
can any home install solar panels?
Generally, homeowners in Coventry can install solar panels without any problems. Challenges may arise from conditions like excessive shade, poor roof conditions, or limited space. Our local team is prepared to consult, evaluate your specific situation, and provide appropriate solutions.
what is the lifespan of solar panels?
The solar panels we install come with warranties ranging from 12 to 30 years and a performance guarantee of up to 30 years, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
is planning permission required to install solar panels?
In most cases, homes in Coventry do not require planning permission for solar panel installations, thanks to the UK’s 2008 ‘Permitted Development’ rules. However, if your home is in a conservation area or a listed building, you may need to seek planning permission.
For Coventry residents looking to reduce their energy costs and impact the environment positively, solar panels and battery storage offer an enticing solution.
