Many of us are increasingly wanting to be more environmentally conscious in our decision making and purchases and energy for our homes is no different. Here at 365 Energy we are certified solar panels installers of renewable energy systems and solar panel systems in the South West of the UK and are committed to helping our environment by promoting the use of solar energy products. We do this by supplying and installing solar panels and other related systems, for commercial and residential clients across the country.
We offer a range of solutions including cleaning and solar panel system, install solar panels, solar battery systems (including retrofit), EV car chargers, hot water devices and MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) systems which are a modern and energy costs-efficient solution for maintaining a healthy indoor environment in buildings. In this post we focus on domestic solar panels work and the benefits it can bring to your home such as increasing its value, saving money, attracting minimal maintenance, and offering an environmentally considered solution to your needs.
Environmentally Sustainable
It seems correct to start at the heart of our values as a business and focus on the environmental benefits. Solar panels uses the sun to generate electricity and reduces the reliance on fossil fuels and their associated emissions and contribution to climate change. A switch to the abundant and clean solar energy source of power allows you to significantly lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment. You are also showing a commitment to leaving a positive legacy for future generations and actively contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable world.
Cost Saving
The electricity produced by solar panels is noiseless, 100% emission-free and almost always cheaper than buying it from an electricity supplier. The consideration of the initial solar PV panels investment is offset by the long-term savings on electricity bills and potential incentives. You produce electricity directly on your property, allowing you to generate your own solar power so you can become more energy independent, reduce your dependence on the grid and make you less vulnerable to rising energy bills.
Simple Maintenance
A solar PV system is designed to operate for many years, with expected lifespans of 25 years or more. They require minimal maintenance, mainly cleaning the solar panels to ensure they perform at their best. The need for cleaning is primarily related to birds and most likely pigeons. Given the angle of the solar panels they are more prone to bird droppings and the build up of dirt and dust that isn’t easily removed by the rain. Any coverage to the PV panel reduces the amount of light it gets and therefore reduces its output.
There are preventative measures you can take by installing bird protection such as bird mesh or wire blockers which prevent the birds access and are a non-intrusive solution, which doesn’t damage your roof or affect your solar panels. The other option is a solar skirt made from powder coated aluminium and adds an attractive colour co-ordinated edging to the solar panels. These solar panel solutions are low maintenance and result in long-term energy consumption production without significant upkeep costs.
Increased Property Value
Solar PV systems can enhance the value of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Studies have shown that homes with residential solar panels generally command a higher selling price compared to similar homes without solar installations as potential buyers can see the existing investment, the long-term financial benefits of solar PV systems and the positive impact on the environment.
In conclusion, a solar PV system offer a compelling combination of environmental and financial benefits, energy independence and low on-going maintenance concerns. They represent a transformative technology and by embracing solar power, you can contribute to a more sustainable future, a reduction on the reliance on fossil fuels, and shape a cleaner and more resilient world for generations to come.
