the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Equipping your home in Grantham with solar panels and battery storage lets you gather and store excess energy that isn’t immediately used during peak sunlight hours. This energy can then be utilised during the evenings when you are home, at night, or on cloudy days, significantly cutting your reliance on the national grid. Such autonomy is invaluable during power outages or periods of high energy prices.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By tapping into stored solar energy during peak tariff periods, you can circumvent higher energy costs, substantially lowering your electricity expenses. The accumulated savings can eventually outweigh the upfront costs of the solar and battery setup.
potential for revenue
Selling surplus energy back to the grid can produce financial returns, facilitated by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which rewards you for the surplus solar energy exported back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes equipped with solar panels and battery storage in Grantham are likely to attract potential buyers who value energy efficiency and potential cost savings, thereby boosting your home’s resale value.
