the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
By installing solar panels coupled with battery storage, you can capture and store excess energy during peak sunlight hours. This stored energy is available for use during the evening or on cloudy days, considerably reducing your need to draw power from the national grid. This level of autonomy is particularly advantageous during blackouts or when energy prices are at their highest.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Utilising stored solar energy during periods of high tariffs allows you to circumvent peak energy costs, which can substantially lower your electricity bills. The savings accumulated over time can help recoup the initial investment in the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
There’s also a potential for earning by selling unused energy back to the grid. This is made possible through programmes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which offers compensation for the surplus solar energy you supply back to the grid.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes that are outfitted with solar panels and battery storage are often more appealing to potential buyers, who appreciate the energy savings and eco-friendly features. This can boost the resale value of your property.
desirability in market
With rising energy costs and growing environmental awareness, the demand for homes with robust renewable energy solutions is expected to increase.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
The synergy between solar panels and batteries forms an eco-friendly energy system that maximises the use of natural resources. This is crucial for tackling climate change and reducing environmental harm.
