Are solar panels a good investment?

Ever rising energy prices alongside the government’s green agenda and commitment to reducing the UK’s carbon emissions can only mean one thing – higher energy prices!

G&A Solar Panels offer an alternative to these rising energy prices; the installation of our solar panels is a financially smart and sound investment and has a return of about seven per cent per year.

The benefits of solar panels

There are two ways in which solar panels can benefit you:

• · The most obvious of these is the savings you will make on your electricity bills. Depending on the solar panel installer’s setup, you will likely save £100 – £200 a year on your current electricity bill. This is a huge bonus considering the recent hikes in price by energy companies.
• · The second major benefit of solar panel electricity is that it is government incentivised and you receive FITs (feed-in tariffs) solar power. As part of the FITs scheme you receive a 25 year guarantee from the government to pay you a special rate for feeding electricity back into the grid. This is currently worth £700 – £1400 per year. These solar power benefits will mean significant savings over the next twelve months.

Our table below shows the correlation between annual generation and the savings you can make from solar panel electricity.

FAQs about Solar PVs

Is it possible to use solar PV panels on listed buildings?

It may be possible to use ground mounted PV solar panels on listed buildings but you probably won’t be allowed to use roof mounted PV panels on these buildings.

What if my roof faces west away from the sun?

If your roof is west facing, our PV solar panels will still manage to achieve 80 – 85 per cent of the efficiency of the south facing PV solar panels.

How long will it take to recover my investment?

PV solar panels will recover the carbon used to produce them within 2 – 4 years. Financially you will recover the capital cost within ten years of purchase.

 

Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?

 

It depends: sometimes solar panel planning permission is covered by ‘permitted development rights’. It may not be, but we will provide you with tailor-made advice in this situation.

 

Is solar panel electricity really worth the money?

 

If you’re willing to invest in PV solar panels there are plenty of companies more than eager to help you out. In fact, companies are now offering people free solar panels in exchange for the feed-in tariffs.

 

Will there be a noticeable difference between my generated power and network power after I switch?

 

Certainly not. The switch to PV solar panels is synchronised and seamless. However, if for some unlikely reason your network shuts down, your system will automatically shut down for safety reasons.

 

So why install PV solar panels?

 

PV solar panels begin to produce clean electricity the moment that you install them. This electricity will reduce your electricity costs and can also be fed back to the national grid. PV solar panels are also environmentally friendly and green, and every kW of electricity that you produce will reduce your carbon emissions by 0.527 kg of carbon dioxide.

 

Solar panels increase your home’s value

 

Not only do PV solar panels produce electricity and allow you to produce an efficient green alternative energy that will save you cash – they will also add to the value of your home.

 

Solar panels also increase the interest in your home should you put it on the market. Houses with self-owned solar panels get increased interest. Estate agents claim that houses with solar panels are purchased for 5 – 10 per cent more than those without, based on the reasons of economy and desirability. However, note that this is only the case if you own the solar panels yourself and they are not owned by a third party. In the case of solar panels that are owned by a company which rents your roof space for free electricity or PV solar panels, this will have the opposite effect. A solar panel owned by a company on your roof will be a negative for you when you’re finding a buyer for your home.

 

Why do solar panels increase the desirability and the value of your home?

 

Profitable investment

 

The introduction in April 2010 of the feed-in tariff meant that for home or business owners in the UK solar panels became a safe and very profitable investment.

 

Savings on energy

 

The most obvious of these positives is the savings it is now possible to make on energy bills for those who use self-generated electricity in a world where energy prices are only on the way up. This is added to by the introduction of the feed-in tariff scheme which is a very encouraging monetary enticement. With this in mind, it does not make sense to not use PV solar panels to produce solar panel electricity.

 

Feed-in tariffs

 

Even with a small job from a solar panel installer you can expect to save £100 – £200 a year on your electricity bill, as well as earning around £350 a year from the feed-in tariff income you will receive from the government. Feed-in tariffs are set to continue until 2027, so aside from solar panel electricity you will also get money from feed-in tariffs for a long time yet. Savings on energy prices will increase hugely and solar panel electricity will pay its way hugely during this time.

 

Premium house and premium technology sends out the right signals to buyers

 

A solar panel comes as a huge advantage when selling a house. PV solar panels give you an advantage when pitching to a potential buyer as they know they have all the benefits you have had from a solar panel and have none of the capital investment.

 

After G&A Solar Panels install your PV solar panels you will ensure that the person who buys your home benefits from cheaper electricity bills than they would in other houses on the market. They will also get 3p for every unit generated plus 3p for every unit exported until 2027.

 

Solar panels will work for you whether you want to stay in your home or whether you want to move. If you stay, you will get all the benefits including solar panel electricity from your PV solar panels. If you move, they will help you sell your house. If you do move you can install another solar panel on your new house and claim the feed-in tariff again.
