the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
For homeowners in Shrewsbury, solar panels combined with battery storage allow the collection and storage of excess energy during peak sunlight hours. This energy can be utilised in the evenings, overnight, or during cloudy days, greatly reducing your dependence on the national grid. This autonomy is particularly valuable during power outages or peak energy cost periods.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
By leveraging stored solar energy during high-tariff periods, you can circumvent higher energy costs, drastically reducing your electricity expenses. These savings can ultimately help cover the initial costs of installing the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
Moreover, you can generate additional income by selling excess energy back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which offers compensation for the surplus solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage in Shrewsbury are typically more attractive to potential buyers who appreciate the energy efficiency and cost savings these systems offer. This can significantly increase your property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy prices rise and environmental awareness increases, the demand for homes equipped with established renewable energy systems is expected to grow.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The integration of solar panels and batteries creates an efficient and sustainable energy system that optimises natural resource use. This is essential for addressing climate change and minimising environmental impact.
