Exploring the Advantages of Solar Power

Shining a Light on Sustainable Energy

Bognor Regis, an attractive coastal town in West Sussex, is an ideal place to make the most of the UK's increasing hours of sunlight, especially given the recent advancements in solar energy technology. New installations are helping individuals to reduce their carbon footprints while also trimming their electricity bills.

Firstly, one cannot ignore the environmental benefits of solar energy. It is a clean, renewable resource that reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions. Harnessing power directly from the sun reduces pollution and contributes to the global effort against climate change.

Solar panels, once installed, require minimal maintenance. They are durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, making them a sturdy, reliable source of energy all year round.

Switching to solar energy can also lead to significant financial savings for Bognor Regis residents. Not only do solar panels reduce your electricity bills, but there's also the possibility of earning money back through the UK Government’s Feed-in Tariff scheme. This allows solar panel owners to sell excess energy back to the grid.

Moreover, solar panels increase your property’s value. In this green age, a house powered by solar energy is a hot commodity on the property market. More and more prospective homeowners are seeking houses with solar power solutions in place.

It's clear to see that the future of Bognor Regis is bright indeed, powered by the limitless potential of solar energy.

FAQs

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells, which are made of semiconducting materials. When sunlight hits the PV cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms, creating a flow of electricity.

Are solar panels suitable for all types of homes?

Solar panels can be installed on most types of roofs, including flat, sloping, and even curved roofs. However, the suitability of your home will depend on factors such as roof orientation, shading, and structural integrity. Our team will check that your home is suitable on our initial site visit.

How much do solar panels cost?

The cost of solar panels varies depending on factors such as the size of the system, the brand and quality of the panels, and the installation costs. On average, a typical 6kW solar panel system can cost between £7,000 to £15,000.

How long does it take to install solar panels?

The installation time for solar panels can vary depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation. However, a typical installation for a residential system can take between one to three days.

What are the benefits of installing solar panels?

The benefits of installing solar panels include reduced energy bills, lower carbon footprint, increased home value, and protection against rising energy costs.

How much money can I save by installing solar panels?

The amount of money you can save by installing solar panels depends on factors such as your energy usage, the size of the system, and your local electricity rates. On average, homeowners can save between £10,000 to £30,000 over the life of their solar panel system.

What maintenance is required for solar panels?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically just a regular cleaning to remove any dirt or debris that may accumulate on the panels. Our solar panels come with a warranty of 25 years, which covers any defects or issues with the panels.

What happens to excess energy generated by my solar panels?

Any excess energy generated by your solar panels can be stored in batteries and used when the sun is not shining.
Alternatively, it can be sold back to your local electricity grid, earning you credits on your energy bill. This allows you to offset the cost of any energy you may need to purchase from the grid during periods of low sunlight.
