Cut costs while helping the planet
SOLAR PANELS
A bright future: How going solar can help the
planet and your pocket
Keeping costs down while doing our bit for the planet
can often prove a real challenge, but in the case of
powering our homes, solar energy is lighting the way.
Solar panels are proving a popular choice among
homeowners looking to lower their living costs, and this
sustainable energy source is not only helping to cut
energy bills, but bringing
about a whole host of
other benefits as well...
Clean energy
As mentioned above,
solar energy is an ideal
way for homeowners to
reduce their carbon
footprint. Not only is the energy generated from a
renewable source, but it can also be stored using a
home energy storage system, so it can be utilised when
most needed.
Advances in solar PV (photovoltaic) technology mean the
panels can make use of even weak sunlight, and with a
typical lifespan of 25 years or more, they deliver
excellent return on investment.
Self-sufficiency
By allowing homeowners to generate their own energy,
this reduces the reliance on utility companies and
fluctuating energy markets, making it much easier to
predict costs and to adapt to changing energy needs.
Plus, solar panels can be installed on homes in rural
locations where more traditional energy sources are
more costly or choice is limited. This is another valuable,
but often overlooked, aspect of energy independence.
Added value
By reducing carbon emissions, solar panels can help
increase the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating
of a property, which can be a valuable selling point,
especially for energy-conscious buyers.
Today’s solar panels are also far more aesthetically
pleasing than their traditional counterparts, blending
into the overall property design and often enhancing,
rather than detracting, from the kerb appeal of the
home.
Extra incentives
It’s not only for the above reasons that solar panels are
proving increasingly popular - there are also very few
obstacles to overcome in terms of initial setup...
In most cases, solar panels do not require planning
permission - they are classed as permitted development.
Also, installation of solar panels is currently subject to
0% VAT in the UK, making renewable energy a more
affordable prospect for homeowners than ever before.
Kevlar Electrical helps homeowners across the local area
save costs through solar energy, through installing solar
PV and home energy storage systems and offering
service plans for complete peace of mind.
