The Future Is Bright with Solar Suffolk
Thinking of switching to solar energy but unsure where to start?
Don’t spend hours searching through conflicting advice and technical jargon. At Solar Suffolk, we’ve simplified the process so you can focus on what really matters—saving money and reducing your carbon footprint.
First, Let’s Talk About the Cons
While solar energy offers many benefits, it’s important to make informed decisions. Here’s what you should consider:
High Initial Cost
Solar panels are a long-term investment. The upfront cost of installation can seem high, but with custom-designed systems from Solar Suffolk and flexible finance options, we make going solar more affordable than ever.
Property Suitability
Solar works best on south-facing roofs with a 30°–40° pitch—but don’t worry. Our experts assess your home and tailor your system to get the best performance, whatever your roof type.
Weather-Dependent Efficiency
While solar panels are most efficient in full sun, modern technology means they still produce electricity on cloudy days or in winter. For even more control and savings, consider adding a solar battery to store excess energy for nighttime use.
Now for the Benefits—Why Go Solar?
Slash Your Electricity Bills
Enjoy free, renewable electricity. Depending on your system and usage, you could save up to £1,100 per year.
Get Paid for Excess Energy
Sell your surplus electricity back to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)—earning money while reducing waste.
Reduce Your Grid Dependence
Tired of unpredictable energy prices? Solar panels—and even more so with a battery system—protect you from rising costs and give you more energy independence.
Get Paid for Your Solar Power
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a government-backed initiative that rewards homeowners and businesses for exporting surplus electricity to the National Grid. If you’ve had solar panels installed, you can earn money on the electricity you don’t use—adding even more value to your solar investment.
How Does SEG Work?
It’s simple:
- Your energy supplier pays you for every unit of electricity you export
- You don’t need to buy electricity from the same company you sell to
- However, some suppliers offer better SEG rates if you’re both a customer and an exporter
Tip: Shop around to find the SEG tariff that offers the best return for your setup.
Installed by Solar Suffolk = SEG-Ready
All Solar Suffolk installations are carried out by MCS-certified installers, making your system fully compliant and eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee.
When your installation is complete, we’ll provide everything you need to register with your energy provider:
✅ MCS Certificate
✅ DNO (Distribution Network Operator) Approval
✅ Paid Invoice
You’ll receive this full documentation pack on the day your system goes live.
Do I Need a Smart Meter?
To take full advantage of SEG, yes—a smart meter is typically required.
- Some suppliers may offer basic SEG tariffs without one
- However, to maximise your export payments, we highly recommend having a smart meter installed
We’re happy to advise on next steps if you don’t yet have a smart meter.
Boost Your Benefits with Battery Storage
Why export all your excess power when you could store it and use it later?
By adding a battery storage system, you can:
- Use more of your solar power at night or on cloudy days
- Reduce reliance on the grid even further
- Lower your energy bills and improve system payback time
Ask us about pairing your SEG-ready system with smart battery solutions tailored to your property.

Do I Need to Consider Battery Storage?
When installing solar panels with Solar Suffolk, one of the smartest ways to maximise your savings and energy independence is to include battery storage with your solar PV system.
What Happens Without a Battery?
Without battery storage, any excess electricity your solar panels generate during the day is automatically exported to the National Grid. While this still saves you money and allows you to earn through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), it means you’re not storing that free solar energy for use at night—when your panels aren’t generating power.
Why Choose Battery Storage?
Adding a battery to your solar panel system gives you the power to store and use your excess solar energy whenever you need it. Here’s how it benefits you:
- ✅ Reduce reliance on the National Grid
- ✅ Lower your electricity bills even further
- ✅ Protect yourself from future energy price rises
- ✅ Maximise your solar investment and energy efficiency
At Solar Suffolk, we install battery systems that integrate seamlessly with your solar panels and give you real-time insights into your energy usage and storage.
What If I’m Not Ready for a Battery?
Not ready to invest in battery storage just yet? No problem—there are still ways to boost your solar panel efficiency:
- 🔌 Use timers to run high-energy appliances during the day
- ♨️ Install a power diverter to heat water via your immersion heater using surplus electricity
- 📊 Add an Energy Management System (EMS) to automate and optimise how energy is used in your home
And remember, even without a battery, you can still earn money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Visit our SEG information page for more details.
