Solar panels for residential properties
Whether you’re entirely new to the idea of residential solar panels or searching for the perfect provider, you can count on Wickes Solar. As energy specialists, we offer a complete service from the design and installation to aftercare and support of your chosen solar set-up.
From understanding solar energy to saving money and protecting our planet, there are many reasons why solar power could benefit your household.
Solar panels help you reduce your carbon emissions by generating renewable electricity from sunlight instead of burning fossil fuels. This reduces demand on the national grid and cuts CO₂ emissions.
What are the top 5 benefits of solar panels for your home?
Beyond saving you money, solar panels offer a whole lot more. Here’s just a handful of the benefits of residential solar panels.
- The main driving factor for homeowners getting solar is saving them money. To find out exactly how much you could save, you’ll need a solar installation quote – which we can quickly do for free. What’s more, there’s the benefit of carbon savings, allowing you to fully rely on renewable electricity.
- It's renewable energy, which means you’re limiting your reliance on fossil fuels, while reducing your carbon footprint. If there is daylight, we can generate power thanks to solar technology. The best bit? As technology advances, solar panels are becoming more efficient every year.
- When you invest in a battery storage system for your solar set-up, you can bank energy to use at a later time. So, while solar panels require daylight to generate energy, you’ll be able to access that stored power when the sun sets.
- You can earn money from any excess energy you don’t use by selling it back to the grid, thanks to the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). If your system meets eligibility requirements and you have a smart meter that can provide half-hourly export readings, you’ll qualify for the tariff.
- Residential solar panels have an impressive life span – with product warranties of 25 years. Once installed, solar panels can also require very little maintenance. As solar panels are often placed at an angle, the rain will keep them clean by washing away any dirt or dust, helping maintain their effectiveness. However, we recommend a proper clean once a year to get the most out of them.
