Within this blog, there will be a discussion of the three major benefits of installing solar panels on top of your home or business. Therefore, it will be beneficial for those looking into the benefits of solar panels, as well as those who are not yet convinced that this long-term investment is worth its upfront costs.
Provides Clean Renewable Energy
Using a renewable energy source means you’ll be using cleaner, green energy to help power your home. Unlike fossil fuels (coal and natural gas) solar power energy doesn’t create pollutants or greenhouse gases that harm the environment. Therefore, the use of renewable energies is the key to a cleaner and brighter future for both wildlife and human beings.
Control Over Your Electricity
By having a built-in battery, you will be able to collect your own electricity, as well as get paid for the additional energy you don’t use and that is sent back to the energy plant. Furthermore, having a battery connected to your solar panels offers you the freedom from utility companies and increasing electricity bills.
The Costs Have Fallen
In the past, it has been known that the cost of solar panels and the installation was extremely high. However, over the years, this has dropped dramatically. This is due to the government cutting the VAT rate on this energy-saving material to “0% from April 2022 to 2027”, leading to most installations costing 5% less.
Research shows that “60% of UK residents who, according to our National Home Energy Survey, want to switch to renewable energy at home.”
How much of that is spent on materials you may ask?
Within the cost, there are a number of things your money goes towards, such as materials, and labour. You may ask how much actually goes on materials and that is typically 40 to 50% of costs. This is usually spent on materials such as panels, brackets, and an inverter.
To conclude
For many people suffering in this economic climate, this is a very positive step. This method of using renewable energy has become a lot cheaper, and more accessible, and allows us to have more control over our own energy, which is especially needed and wanted during these current times.
This, therefore, should highlight three key benefits to know and understand before investing in solar panels.
