Why choose Solar PV?
There are many compelling benefits to investing in solar energy for your home. In fact, it's such an efficient source of energy that you'll be hard-pushed to think of any disadvantages at all.
Free your home from rising costs
The investment you make in solar PV is a long-term commitment to supplying your home with plentiful, reliable and clean electricity. A solar panel installation can last for up to 40 years, and once paid for, will incur no maintenance costs, or any other hidden charges. Requiring no technical maintenance, they'll operate brilliantly with just an annual clean to remove debris and obstructions. As the price of energy rises all around you, you will be immune its effects, and free to spend the money you're saving on the things you want to do.
Get paid to produce your own energy
Under the Clean Energy Cashback Scheme, you stand to earn a tidy 41.3p per unit of energy you generate. This doesn't only apply to surplus energy; it's total energy produced, even if you use it yourself. The government is so keen to give the renewables sector enough support for it to enter the mainstream, that they'll pay you to compensate for your unburdening of the national grid.
RPI-linked and tax-free
Not only will you save substantial amounts in potential costs with solar panels, you'll also receive payment for the surplus energy you produce. By selling your energy back to the national grid, you're helping to recoup the cost of your initial investment. The minimum amount you'll receive for energy sold back to the grid is 3p per unit. All payments you receive from your clean energy production will be tax-free, and Retail Price Index-linked to protect you from inflation.
Increase the value of your home
Should you ever want or need to move from the property in which you have solar panels installed, you need not worry about losing money. It's widely held that a solar PV installation will increase the value of your home or business premises by about £4,000.
Do your bit for the environment
The dangers of global climate change are now widely reported and understood, after many years of intensive research and climate modelling. We've all become aware that our current energy usage patterns could be disastrous for our environment, and potentially catastrophic for the welfare of future generations. By installing solar panels on your home, you're making a strong commitment to a cleaner, safer and more peaceful planet, where individual responsibility plays a strong role in the communal wellbeing. Clean energy isn't just good for the earth, it's good for the soul.
