Benefits of Commercial / Domestic Solar Panels
Over the last few years, there has been a spike in demand for solutions based on solar energy such as solar PV panels and solar thermal water heating. These appliances offer a number of benefits to both commercial and domestic users, some of which we have discussed below.
Cut the cost of your energy bills by installing solar panels on your roof.
Save money
One of the top reasons why homeowners and business owners are installing solar energy solutions is that they can help them save a significant amount of money on their energy bills.
Solar energy solutions will essentially future proof you against rising energy prices, so you’ll never have to worry about increasing household bills. It offers a form of security and sense of independence, as no one can buy the sun or turn it into a monopoly.
Businesses have also been found to save up to 60% on their daytime running costs just by installing solar panels on their rooftops. The money saved can then be put towards other ventures, such as expansion.
Financial rewards
The UK Government have funded initiatives like the Renewable Heat Incentive and the Feed-in-Tariff scheme; you can now supplement your income by installing alternative energy systems in your home.
With Feed-in-Tariff, you will get paid for all electricity generated on a quarterly basis. The payment is guaranteed, index linked for twenty five years and completely tax-free. In addition to being able to reduce your electricity bills, (by using the electricity you have generated yourself) you will also receive money from your electricity supplier, for any energy that is unused and fed back to National Grid.
Solar power solutions offer a higher return on investment than any ISA or savings account, of up to 11%. Remember this is tax-free and inflation-proof.
Add value to your home
There are many ways you can add value to your home, from doing up the kitchen to landscaping the garden but one of the best ways to up its value is by installing domestic solar panels. Having an eco-friendly house is highly desirable and can add up to 6% to the value of your property.
Solar panels are a great selling point for your home, as they offer reduced energy bills and benefit from the financial rewards, as outlined in the previous section.
Environmentally friendly
Of course, a non-financial benefit of commercial and domestic solar panels is that they are a much more environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. They do not contribute to global warming, instead helping to fight against it.
This is likely to be appealing to homeowners who care about saving the planet but will particularly appeal to business owners, looking to improve their green credentials.
By installing solar panels at your workplace, you will be able to market your company as environmentally friendly. Since this is important to so many people these days, it is likely to give your reputation a boost and may even help you to secure more business in the future.
Maintenance-free (virtually)
Once installed, solar panels will require little to no maintenance at all, saving you or your business a significant amount of money. The system will provide reliable electricity quietly and cleanly for between twenty five and forty years.
Many solar panels also come with a twenty five year warranty.
