the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels equipped with battery storage allow you to harvest and retain surplus energy that isn’t utilised during peak sunlight hours. This setup enables you to absorb solar energy throughout the day and use it in the evenings when you return home. Additionally, the stored energy can be used at night or during overcast days, significantly reducing your dependence on the national grid. This independence is particularly valuable during power cuts or high-tariff times.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By utilising stored solar energy during high-tariff periods, you can avoid peak energy prices, which further diminishes your electricity bills. Over time, these savings are substantial enough to offset the initial cost of installing both solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Occasionally, surplus energy can be sold back to the grid, providing an extra source of income. This is made possible through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which rewards you for the surplus solar energy you export back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage are typically more appealing to potential buyers, who appreciate the benefits of energy efficiency and cost savings. This can significantly increase the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy costs rise and environmental awareness grows, the demand for homes with integrated renewable energy solutions is set to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The combination of solar panels and batteries creates a robust energy system that utilises natural resources efficiently and responsibly, playing a critical role in combating climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
