Harness the power of the sun

We’re all trying to make more of an effort to look after the planet and using solar energy to power our homes is becoming increasingly popular around the world. Solar panels on your roof or in the garden give you the option to become more independent from the grid, as well as reducing your household’s environmental impact. Depending on the size of your house, you’ll probably need between 6 and 14 solar panels, and they should last up to 30 years. We’ve made a YouTube video all about installing solar panels – take a look here to see what’s involved.

If you have solar panels, you’ll know that they generate the most energy during the day, when the sun is shining on them. But this is historically the time during which homes use the least amount of electricity – when you and your family are out at work or school. So what happens to that surplus energy?

Store your solar energy and save money

One way you can use your excess solar energy is to sell it back to the grid via your electricity supplier – which will of course reduce your overall bill.

But perhaps you would prefer to retain all the energy you generate. Installing a solar battery means that instead of selling the electricity you generated back to the grid, you can conserve this energy to use when you need it – perhaps to power your home when the sun goes down or to charge your electric car. A solar battery means a greater proportion of the electricity you use will be a low-carbon option to fossil fuels. You’ll also use less energy from the grid and therefore have lower bills.
