All the signs are pointing towards another bitterly cold winter, and with that for many comes the fear that’s they’ll be lumbered with astronomical energy bills. With the cost of energy rising at a faster rate than ever before, solar PV panels can be just the solution you’re looking for to take control of your energy use and lower your monthly utility bills. There are a number of reasons why you should consider solar panels for your home.
• Environmentally Friendly
Choosing to have solar panels for your home is one step towards saving the planet. Solar power is a source of renewable energy, meaning that it will never run out. Unlike with fossil fuels, solar energy doesn’t release carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases into the air.
• Reliable
Solar PV panels are incredibly reliable and require very little maintenance. They should last for at least as long as you have your home. They contain no moving parts so there is very little that can go wrong with them. The lack of moving parts also means that they are completely silent when they are collecting energy,
• Money Saving
Having solar panels for your home can save you significant amounts of money on your energy bills. Users of solar power have reported savings of up to £200 a year on their bills. Although you have the initial outlay of the solar panels themselves, they cost much less than you would think and the potential savings more than make up for it.
• Easy to Install
Solar PV panels are very simple to install. Although the lead up work like purchasing your panels and planning their installation may take a few weeks, the actually installation should take no more than a few days. Also, because the majority of the installation is completed outside, you can expect very little disruption to your daily life.
