the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
With solar panels and battery storage, you can harvest and store the excess energy produced during peak sunlight hours. This energy is available for use in the evening, at night, or on cloudy days, substantially reducing your dependency on the national grid. This level of autonomy is particularly beneficial during power cuts or in periods of high energy tariffs.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By utilising your stored solar energy during high-tariff periods, you can avoid peak energy prices and lower your electricity bills. Over time, these savings can help cover the cost of installing both the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
There is also a possibility of generating additional income by selling surplus energy back to the grid. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) facilitates this, allowing you to receive payments for the surplus solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage often appeal more to potential buyers, who value energy efficiency and prospective cost savings. This can enhance the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
With rising energy prices and increasing environmental awareness, the demand for homes with integrated renewable energy systems is expected to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Combining solar panels with batteries creates a sustainable energy system that makes efficient use of natural resources, which is essential for addressing climate change and reducing environmental damage.
