the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Installing solar panels along with battery storage allows you to gather and store excess energy that isn’t used during peak sunlight hours. This energy can be used later in the evening, at night, or on cloudy days, drastically reducing your reliance on the national grid. Such autonomy is incredibly beneficial during power outages or when energy prices are at their peak.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Leveraging your stored solar energy during periods of high tariffs helps you sidestep peak energy prices, reducing your electricity bills even further. Over time, these savings can significantly defray the costs associated with solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Selling excess energy back to the grid can generate additional income. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) facilitates this, providing compensation for the surplus solar energy returned to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties that are fitted with solar panels and battery storage systems tend to attract more interest from prospective buyers, who value energy efficiency and potential cost savings. This can increase the property’s resale value.
desirability in market
With the rise in energy costs and growing environmental consciousness, the demand for homes equipped with renewable energy solutions is likely to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The integration of solar panels and batteries establishes a sustainable energy system that judiciously uses natural resources, playing a critical role in tackling climate change and reducing environmental degradation.

common questions answered
Do solar panels require direct sunlight to generate energy?
While solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity efficiently all year round, even in varied weather conditions.
can any home install solar panels?
Most homes in Rugby can accommodate solar panels. Nevertheless, certain conditions like excessive shade, poor roof quality, or limited space could present challenges. Our local experts are ready to offer a consultation to assess your unique situation and provide solutions.
what is the lifespan of solar panels?
Our solar panels generally come with warranties ranging from 12 to 30 years, with a performance guarantee of up to 30 years, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
is planning permission required to install solar panels?
Most homes in Rugby do not require planning permission to install solar panels, thanks to the UK’s 2008 ‘Permitted Development’ rules. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings might need planning permission.
For Rugby residents looking to reduce their energy bills and make a positive impact on the environment, solar panels and battery storage offer an excellent solution.
