the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Installing solar panels and battery storage enables you to harness and store excess energy during peak sunlight hours. This stored energy can then be used in the evenings or during overcast days, significantly reducing your dependence on the national grid. This autonomy is invaluable during power outages and periods of high energy costs.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By using the stored solar energy during peak tariff times, you can avoid expensive energy prices, significantly reducing your electricity bills. These savings can offset the cost of installing both the solar panels and battery systems.
potential for revenue
There’s also the potential to generate additional income by selling surplus energy back to the grid. This is facilitated by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which compensates you for the excess solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes outfitted with solar panels and battery storage generally attract more interest from potential buyers, who often value energy efficiency and potential cost savings. This can significantly enhance the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy prices soar and environmental awareness grows, the demand for homes equipped with renewable energy systems is expected to rise.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The integration of solar panels with battery storage creates a highly efficient energy system that optimises natural resource use. This is crucial for fighting climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
