Why Are Solar Panels Good? A list of the benefits of Switching to Solar!

27th April 2023

A lot of people tend to ask ‘why are solar panels good’ so we here at UK Energi, we've looked into a few facts regarding solar panels.

Increasingly, Solar panels are becoming the most popular way to generate domestic electricity and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. And, with the energy crisis increasing electricity prices in the UK by 67 percent in January 2023 compared to January 2022 according to the Office of National Statistics, that is set to continue.

The previous Government had a goal to increase commercial solar buy up to 500% by 2035 and our new parliamentarians want a ‘roof top revolution’ in Domestic solar.

This increase in interest, and incentivising from the government, means now is the perfect time to revolutionise your energy provision.

Here are some of the benefits of solar panels:

Cost savings:

Solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills by up to 70%. This is because the energy produced by the panels can be used to power your home or business, reducing the amount of electricity you need to buy from the grid.

Environmental benefits:

Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of energy that doesn't produce any greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants. By using solar panels, you can reduce your carbon footprint and help combat climate change.

Increased home value:

Homes with solar panels installed are often valued higher than those without. This is because solar panels are seen as a desirable feature that can save homeowners money on their energy bills and help reduce their impact on the environment.

Energy independence:

By generating your own electricity with solar panels, you can become less reliant on the grid and the fluctuating prices of electricity. This can give you greater control over your energy costs and help you avoid blackouts or other disruptions to the grid.

Long-term savings:

Solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years and require little maintenance.  These high-quality solar panels are stocked via UK Energi and their nationwide warehouses.
