the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
With our solar panels and accompanying battery storage, you can capture surplus energy during peak sunlight that isn’t used immediately. This energy can be stored and utilised during the evening or other times when you are home, significantly reducing your reliance on the national grid. This is particularly beneficial during power cuts or periods of high electricity rates.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By using stored solar energy during peak tariff times, you can avoid higher energy costs, which helps reduce your overall electricity bills. The savings generated over time can offset the upfront cost of the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
You can also earn money from your solar system by selling any excess energy back to the grid. Initiatives like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) support this opportunity, allowing you to receive payments for the surplus energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties that are equipped with solar and battery storage systems are often more attractive to potential buyers who are keen on the benefits of energy efficiency and potential savings. This can boost the resale value of your home.
desirability in market
As the cost of energy continues to rise and environmental consciousness grows, the demand for homes equipped with renewable energy solutions is likely to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with battery storage creates a highly efficient use of natural resources. This is crucial for tackling climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
