Whether you are looking to cut your carbon footprint or reduce your energy bills, Solar Energy Solutions have a wide range of Star Plus Energy products that can help.
Solar energy offers significant financial returns on investment. This is particularly true when you choose to install a battery system to your home solar power generation, which allows surplus electricity generated during the day to be stored for use at night, reducing your reliance on the National Grid and increasing your savings.
Another major benefit is that solar energy helps protect you against rising electricity costs. The price of coal or gas-based energy is linked to global market movements and other factors beyond your control, which can leave you feeling vulnerable. By switching to solar power, you will benefit from a fixed energy price that cannot be increased.
One of the biggest benefits that many people find is the sense of independence and self-sufficiency a solar powered home can give them. As the ‘fuel’ used to produce solar energy is intangible, it cannot be bought or monopolised so you are truly independent from traditional sources of power.
The UK Government is currently offering a number of schemes that can help homeowners make the most of their solar power generation. For example, the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) initiative compensates you for the excess energy your panels generate but don’t use. Alternatively, you could choose to use a solar diverter to direct any excess energy towards a specific load such as an electric vehicle charger.
