the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Equipping your home with solar panels and battery storage allows you to capture and store surplus energy during peak sunlight hours. This energy can then be utilised in the evenings when you return home or during nighttime and overcast days, reducing your dependence on the national grid. This autonomy proves invaluable during power outages or peak tariff times.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Utilising stored solar energy during high-tariff periods enables you to avoid peak energy prices, further reducing your electricity bills. Over time, these savings can offset the initial cost of the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Excess energy can potentially be sold back to the grid, creating an additional income stream. Initiatives such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) support this, which compensates 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 tend to attract prospective buyers who value energy efficiency and the associated cost savings. This enhances the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy prices climb and environmental consciousness grows, the demand for homes with established renewable energy solutions is set to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with batteries creates a sustainable energy system that uses natural resources more efficiently, crucial for addressing climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
