By adding panels to your roof, you harness free electricity which reduces your daily grid consumption. This reduces your reliance on fossil fuel-generated electricity.
Using the excess solar energy that you store throughout the day at night helps reduce your reliance on peak period grid energy, greatly reducing grid reliance.
Rely on self-generated power and increase your independence, especially with a battery. Offset your daily usage with solar generation and reduce grid consumption.
Having a solar battery means that you have backup energy during grid outages which enables you to stay powered on independent of the grid.
Because you're relying on the energy YOU generate during the day, you avoid paying full electricity bills, and further reduce them with feed-in-tariffs.
Did you know you can boost your property's value by adding solar? Homes that generate their own power generally sell for more as most value self-sufficiency.
Instead of selling your solar energy for cheap through FiTs, you gain the ability to join Amber and trade your energy, or use it instead of expensive peak energy.
With the rapid uptake of solar and more recently battery storage, you may wonder why it's worth investing in upgrading your energy.
Solar energy simply allows you to offset your daytime electricity consumption with the sun's abundant energy. Pairing this with battery storage enables homes and businesses to avoid paying high electricity bills and rising costs.
Elements like backup energy, increased sustainability and savings, and the ability to join Amber and VPP's are reasons on why you should consider investing in solar and battery.
