As Britain continues its evolution towards a greener future, more homeowners are turning to solar energy to power their homes. With electricity prices on the rise and climate change an ever more pertinent concern, now is an ideal time to consider the benefits of home solar energy.
At Jem Energy, we specialise in supplying and installing the finest solar PV panels tailored to your home’s unique requirements. Whether you're keen to reduce your energy bills, cut your carbon footprint, or gain more energy independence, solar energy offers a long-term solution.
Here are the top 7 benefits of installing solar PV panels in the UK, and why Jem Energy is the trusted local choice for homeowners across the region.
1. Significantly Lower Energy Bills
One of the most immediate and long-lasting benefits of home solar energy is the cutting down of electricity bills. When you generate your own clean energy from the sun, you rely less on your electricity supplier, so can avoid those unpredictable price hikes.
Did you know, the average household in the UK can save hundreds of pounds a year with solar panels? Over time, these savings add up, making up for the initial cost of installation. With our expertly designed systems and careful installation, you can maximise efficiency levels, ensuring you get the most from every ray of sunshine.
2. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Traditional sources of energy like coal and gas contribute significantly to carbon emissions. Solar PV panels, on the other hand, generate electricity with zero emissions.
By switching to solar energy at your home, you’re directly contributing to the UK’s net zero targets and playing a role in the fight against climate change. An average 3kW solar panel system can save over one tonne of CO2 every year- that’s equivalent to planting dozens of trees or taking a car off the road.
At Jem Energy, we’re proud to help households reduce their impact on the environment, and we’re always happy to advise customers on the greenest energy practices.
3. Break Free From Energy Companies
The recent global energy crisis has highlighted how volatile the energy market can be. With solar panels at your home, you can take control of your energy use and become less reliant on national grid fluctuations or energy suppliers.
Adding a solar battery system increases your independence even further, allowing you to store unused energy for use at night or during cloudy periods. Jem Energy offers advanced battery storage options and smart solar systems that give you full control over when and how your energy is used.
Having independence in this area offers not only financial benefits: it offers peace of mind in an uncertain world.
4. Boost Your Home’s Property Value
As energy efficiency becomes a key consideration for homebuyers in the UK, solar panel systems are increasingly seen as a valuable asset. A property with solar energy already installed appeals to buyers who want to save on future bills and reduce their environmental impact. That’s why they’re appearing on all new builds.
Research has shown that energy-efficient homes can sell for more and spend less time on the market. With our sleek and modern panel designs, you benefit from installations that look as good as they perform.
5. Government Incentives: Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), homeowners can earn money by exporting unused solar energy back to the grid. This scheme replaced the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) and offers a great way to further improve your return on investment.
With SEG, your electricity supplier pays you for each unit of energy you feed into the grid. Jem Energy helps customers choose the best SEG tariffs available and ensures your system is properly registered to take advantage of the scheme.
6. A Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting Solution
Modern solar panels are incredibly durable and low-maintenance. Featuring no moving parts, there is minimal wear and tear, and most panels come with warranties of 20–25 years or more.
At Jem Energy, our systems are designed to withstand weather conditions in the UK all year-round. We also offer guidance on basic upkeep to keep your system running efficiently. Occasional cleaning and an annual system check are usually all that’s needed to keep things in optimal shape.
