Solar Panels

Why you should get Solar Panels for Your Home

Homeowners across the UK are beginning to see the inherent benefits of solar technology; they are fast becoming a popular choice these days. If you’ve had a second thought about using solar panels for your electrical needs, you’re missing out a great deal.

With solar panels, you can run your home much more efficiently. You can combat Greenhouse gas emissions, thereby reducing global dependence on fossil fuel. Over the years, solar panels will pay themselves through lower electricity costs for your home. And if you get lots of sunshine by virtue of your house location, it makes it even better.

Aside from the above, many homeowners opt for solar panels because of the various environmental benefits they bring. You lower carbon footprint when you replace utility power with clean electricity from solar panels.

Is a solar system still viable?

It’s a simple yes. With all things considered WE will explain the features and benefits of a solar system. Producing your own electricity will save you money every month/quarter, the savings are only going to rise as energy providers continue to push up the price of electricity. With an average household paying around 14P per kwh we are paying double what it was 10 years ago. By 2030 we could be looking at a 40% rise from £450 to £630 a year. A typical 4kw solar system will produce around 3700 kwh per year, this is the same as what an average household will use.

Get paid for what you produce (tariff finishes in April 2019)

With the government feed in tariff (FIT) you will get paid for the energy you generate and the energy you export back to the grid. The payments are index linked increasing your income annually around 2% with inflation and are guaranteed for 20 years.

A typical 4kw system will see combined savings and income of £430.34 in the first year. Based on an annual rise of 6%* by year 20 your annual benefit would be £1459. Over a 25-year period the system will have benefited you £23583. This is a combination of the payments get back from the system paid directly from the green levy from your energy provider as a direct cash payment into your bank plus the energy savings made on the property. Based on the last 10 years these figures could be considerably higher. 

*Combining 2% inflation and energy rising costs at 4%

WE do our very best to ensure your solar system could be paid for in under 9 years. This would mean combined savings and income of around £4500 in that time. Using all MCS accredited products supplied and fitted by World’s Energy this is easily achievable.

Increase the value of your property

By adding renewable technology, you could see up to a 14% increase in your property value based on your EPC rating. This alone can make a solar system a worthwhile investment.

With little to no maintenance required, a solar system will give you many years of hassle-free service and for peace of mind every installation is provided with a 10-year insurance backed warranty with the IWA

Save the planet

Using renewable energy instead of polluting power plants is a big part of stopping the Earth’s temperature rising to dangerous levels. A 4-kw system on your roof will save one tonne of carbon dioxide per year. That’s the same as an average car’s emissions driving over 3000 miles or a return flight from London to New York. It’s as good for the planet as planting and growing 30 trees over 10 years.
