A solar PV system for your home is an investment for the future and has many benefits, including reduced electricity costs and a lower carbon footprint.
Five reasons to install solar PV:
- Solar PV lowers your electricity bills
- Solar PV protects against price rises
- Solar PV increases the value of your home
- Solar PV is an investment for the future
- Solar PV is green
1. Solar PV lowers your electricity bills
A typical solar PV system can provide at least 45% of a home's electricity requirements. Energy companies now pay you for generating clean energy, meaning your solar PV system can earn you money.
2. Solar PV protects against price rises
Energy prices are continuing to rise and demand is increasing as well. By using a solar PV system you can generate part or all of your energy requirements. Once installed, your solar PV system generates at a constant rate meaning that when prices rise, your solar PV system will still be generating at the same rate, saving you money.
3. Solar PV increases the value of your home
Green homes are in demand and by fitting a solar PV system, you could be increasing the value of your home. In the future, new homes may have solar PV fitted as standard, so if you are planning to sell your home, you will need to ensure your home is attractive to buyers.
4. Solar PV is an investment for the future
At the moment, a solar PV system can return >10% on your initial investment. If the price of electricity continues to rise then this return will be greater.
5. Solar PV is green
Needless to say, solar PV systems can reduce your household carbon emissions by nearly 1000kgCO2 per year. Solar PV systems do not emit any harmful substances and the panels are sustainable.
