Decarbonising homes through low-carbon technologies such as solar PV can ease energy poverty and reduce energy bills and carbon emissions. They can either replace or supplement the power you draw from the grid. This means lower monthly energy costs and potential savings over the lifespan of the panels.

Homeowners with solar PV installed enjoy lower energy bills as they can generate a portion of their own electricity. Smart Solar and Storage Homes: with solar PV, battery storage, and intelligent controls to support the grid and benefit the home in response to price signals.

By using solar panels, you decrease your carbon footprint since they produce clean, renewable energy without emitting greenhouse gases.

The amount you save with solar panels is influenced by several factors, including your energy consumption, the size of your solar panel system, and your local electricity rates.

Solar power represents the first step on the journey toward truly low-carbon homes. A continued mass adoption of smart energy technologies in the home can cut domestic carbon emissions substantially and reduce the cost of running the UK’s electricity system. Now is the time to accelerate this opportunity.

The extent to which you can power your entire home with solar energy largely depends on the size and capacity of your solar panel system as well as your household’s energy consumption.

A home’s annual electricity use could come from low carbon sources when equipped with solar PV and battery storage, providing high levels of energy independence, substantial electricity bill savings, and carbon emission reductions.

However, even if your solar system is capable of generating enough energy to power your home, you may still need to remain connected to the electrical grid. This connection serves as a backup to ensure a continuous power supply during times when your solar panels are not producing enough electricity.

You can also use solar panels to power your car through using our Veva EV charger.
