Solar panels are a fantastic solution for UK homeowners looking to invest in energy independence
With unpredictable energy prices and concern over climate change, many homeowners are looking at the benefits of energy independence.
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity. They still generate electricity from ambient light, so even when the sun isn’t shining brightly, they can still produce power.
It’s also worth noting that excess energy generated can be stored in batteries or sold back to the grid. Overall, solar panels are a reliable and sustainable energy solution that can work in a variety of weather conditions in the UK.

How much do solar panels cost and how long do they last?
The cost of solar panels can vary depending on factors such as size, quality, and installation expenses. With government back schemes, the upfront cost can be significantly reduced. Solar panels typically have warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance.
