Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular to generate electricity and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels during the energy crisis. “According to the Office of National Statistics, electricity prices in the UK had increased by 67 percent in January 2023 compared to January 2022”.
As a country, the Government has revealed its goals of quintupling our solar energy commercially by 2035. But this has caught the eye of residential homeowners looking for alternative solutions during the cost-of-living crisis and lack of fossil fuels. “We have ambitions for a fivefold increase in solar by 2035, up to 70GW, enough to power around 20 million homes”.
Here are some of the benefits of solar panels:
Cost savings:
Solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills, and in some cases, even eliminate them entirely. This is because the energy produced by the panels can be used to power your home or business, reducing the amount of electricity you need to buy from the grid.
Environmental benefits:
Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of energy that doesn't produce any greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants. By using solar panels, you can reduce your carbon footprint and help combat climate change.
Increased home value:
Homes with solar panels installed are often valued higher than those without. This is because solar panels are seen as a desirable feature that can save homeowners money on their energy bills and help reduce their impact on the environment.
Energy independence:
By generating your own electricity with solar panels, you can become less reliant on the grid and the fluctuating prices of electricity. This can give you greater control over your energy costs and help you avoid blackouts or other disruptions to the grid.
Long-term savings:
Solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years and require little maintenance. These high-quality solar panels are stocked via UK Energi and their nationwide warehouses.
