the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Installing solar panels along with battery storage enables you to capture and store surplus energy that isn’t used during peak sunlight hours. This allows you to utilise this energy later in the evening or during cloudy days, significantly reducing your dependence on the national grid. This independence is particularly crucial during power outages or high tariff periods.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By using stored solar energy during periods of high energy tariffs, you can avoid peak prices and further reduce your electricity bills. These savings can eventually offset the costs of installing solar panels and battery systems.
potential for revenue
In some instances, you can also earn additional income by selling unused energy back to the grid. This is facilitated by schemes such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which compensates you for the surplus energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes equipped with solar panels and battery storage are typically more attractive to potential buyers, who are likely to value the energy efficiency and potential cost savings. This can lead to an increase in your property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy prices continue to rise and environmental awareness increases, the demand for homes equipped with established renewable energy systems is expected to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The integration of solar panels with battery storage creates a sustainable energy system that uses natural resources efficiently. This is critical in tackling climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
