The Benefits of Solar Power for Your Home
Are you thinking about installing solar panels in your Suffolk home, but still wondering if it’s really worth it? At Solar Suffolk we provide expert solar panel installations designed to help homeowners cut energy costs, gain energy independence and enjoy the long term benefits of generating your own clean, free electricity.
What is Solar Energy?
Solar energy is produced by capturing sunlight with solar PV panels, which convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This is then turned into usable AC (alternating current) electricity by a solar inverter, the type of electricity needed to run your household appliances and power. Solar panels work even in cloudy conditions, generating free electricity for your home. Any surplus energy can be stored in solar batteries, used to heat your hot water or exported back to the National Grid.
How Solar Panels Power Your Home
A well designed solar system can supply enough electricity to run everyday appliances, lighting and even larger energy demands. By pairing your solar panels with battery storage, you can use your own renewable energy day and night, reducing your reliance on expensive grid power. Solar panels can also charge your electric vehicle, power your heat pump or heat your hot water, making them a future ready energy solution.
Cut Energy Bills and Gain Control
With energy prices rising across the UK, producing your own renewable power is a smart way to reduce costs. Solar gives you greater control over your bills by letting you use your own free electricity, generated from your solar panels. You can then decide whether to export or store surplus electricity, when it benefits you. Resulting in less dependency on grid electricity and volatile prices and more savings in your pocket.
Clean, Renewable and Sustainable
Solar power doesn’t just save you money, it helps to protect the planet from climate change. Unlike fossil fuel generated electricity, which release harmful carbon emissions, solar electricity is a clean and renewable energy source. By switching to solar you can lower your household carbon footprint by up to one tonne every year, contributing to a more sustainable future.
A Long Term Smart Investment
The cost of solar panels has dropped significantly over the past decade (by over 80%), while the value of long term energy savings has continued to rise. Modern solar panels typically last a minimum of 30 years, with some lasting 40 years before a noticeable drop in efficiency. Most systems pay for themselves within 10 years, leaving you with over 20 years of pure profit, savings and free electricity.
Boost Your Property Value
Homes with solar panels are high in demand on the property market. Research shows buyers are increasingly willing to pay higher for properties with renewable energy solutions already installed. In Suffolk, adding a professionally installed solar PV system not only reduces your energy bills today but can also increase the future resale value of your home by up to 14%.
