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. If you’re considering solar PV installation on your home, feel free to get in touch and we’d be happy to help.
