Solar power is an increasingly sought-after energy solution, offering both economic and environmental benefits. At Residential Solar, we specialise in delivering these benefits directly to homeowners. In Derbyshire, installing solar panels along with battery storage is not just about cutting energy costs—it’s about making a proactive choice for a sustainable future.
capturing 1499 hours of sunshine!
Derbyshire experiences around 1499 hours of sunshine each year, providing ample opportunity to harness the sun’s energy effectively.
the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Our solar systems are designed to collect excess energy during the sunniest parts of the day. This energy is stored and can be used during the evening or when solar generation is low, reducing your dependence on the national grid. This setup is incredibly beneficial during unexpected power outages or periods of high energy rates.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Leveraging stored solar energy during peak tariff periods allows you to circumvent higher energy costs, helping to reduce your overall utility bills. The savings accumulated can significantly offset the installation costs of your solar and battery storage systems.
potential for revenue
There is potential to generate income by selling excess energy back to the energy grid. This is supported by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for the surplus energy you provide back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes equipped with solar and battery systems tend to attract buyers looking for energy-efficient properties, potentially increasing your home’s market value.
desirability in market
Desirability in Market: As energy prices rise and environmental awareness increases, the demand for homes with built-in renewable energy systems is expected to grow.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The synergy between solar panels and battery storage forms an efficient energy system that responsibly uses natural resources. This approach is essential for tackling climate change and reducing our ecological footprint.

common questions answered
do solar panels need direct sunlight to generate energy?
While direct sunlight maximises efficiency, our solar panels are capable of generating electricity under various weather conditions throughout the year.
can any home install solar panels?
Most homes in Derbyshire are suitable for solar panel installations. However, specific challenges such as shade, suboptimal roof conditions, or limited space might require custom solutions, which our team is prepared to address.
what is the lifespan of solar panels?
Our solar panels are backed by warranties ranging from 12 to 30 years, with a performance guarantee of up to 30 years, ensuring their reliability and effectiveness over time.
is planning permission required to install solar panels?
Typically, homes in Derbyshire do not need planning permission for solar installations due to the UK’s 2008 ‘Permitted Development’ rules. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings may need to obtain specific permissions.
For Derbyshire residents eager to reduce their energy expenses and make a positive environmental impact, solar panels and battery storage represent a compelling solution. Contact us to discover how you can start your journey to leveraging solar energy.
