5 Key Benefits of Installing Solar Panels on Your Property

Solar panels have been around since the late 70s, but it’s only in the past few years that they’ve really taken off in popularity. Modern design innovations mean that they can now generate most, if not all, of the power your home needs – and all from a completely green and unlimited source!

If you’ve been toying with the idea of getting solar panels for your home but still aren’t sure if they’re worth it, let us walk you through the five biggest benefits of having them installed – there might even be some you weren’t expecting!

1. Reduced Energy Bills

This is usually the top reason why people choose to install solar panels. Solar panels collect energy from the sun, a free resource, and transform it into electricity for use in your home. You won’t have to spend as much money importing power from the national grid, which can save you hundreds on your yearly energy bills. Eventually, these savings will cover and exceed the cost of your initial installation, making it a fantastic long-term investment.

2. Environmental Impact

Not only will your bills shrink, but your carbon footprint will, too! Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of power, producing no greenhouse gas emissions or harmful pollutants during its operation. By installing solar panels onto your home, you can play your part towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions and helping combat climate change, for a cleaner, greener future for all.

3. Low Maintenance Costs

Despite their advanced technology, solar panels don’t actually require a lot of maintenance to keep them working at top performance. You’ll usually only need to give them a gentle cleaning to remove dust every now and then, and the odd check-up to make sure they’re working smoothly. High-quality solar panels are built to handle all sorts of weather, so you can enjoy hassle-free energy production for decades to come! Solar Service Solutions provide a comprehensive solar panel cleaning and maintenance service. To find out more about our packages, click here.

4. Increased Property Value

Everyone loves the idea of saving money on their energy bills, and the same goes for potential homebuyers! Homes equipped with solar panels actually tend to fetch a higher resale value thanks to the reduced energy bills that solar energy can bring. They’re also a big draw for eco-conscious buyers who are interested in ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

5. Make Money By Selling Energy

Did you know that solar panels can actually make you money? It’s true! Thanks to the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can sell any excess power you generate back to the grid. This is a great way to offset the cost of installing solar panels and even make a profit.

The SEG is a government program that guarantees you a minimum price for the electricity you export to the grid. The price varies depending on your location and the time of year, but it’s typically around 5-7 pence per kilowatt-hour.
