Why Install Solar Panels on Your Home?

Here’s why more and more homeowners across East Sussex are switching to solar – and why it might make sense for your home too:

Lower energy bills

Once your panels are installed, they start generating electricity from sunlight – and that means you use less from the grid. The result? Cheaper bills.

Protect against rising prices

Energy prices are unpredictable and rarely go down. With solar panels, you’re relying less on your supplier and more on your own power.

Reduce your carbon footprint

Solar energy is renewable, clean, and helps cut down your household’s impact on the environment. It’s a small change with a big difference.

Increase property value

More and more buyers are looking for energy-efficient homes. Solar panels can make your place stand out and bump up your home’s appeal when it comes time to sell.

Earn money back

If your system generates more electricity than you use, you could sell the extra back to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). A nice bonus that adds up over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to install solar panels?

There aren’t many direct grants, but schemes like the 0% VAT on solar panel installations and the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) can help you save or earn money. We’ll talk you through what’s currently available when we quote.

What happens to excess solar power when batteries are full?

If your batteries are full and your panels are still generating power, the excess usually gets exported back to the grid. If you’re signed up to the Smart Export Guarantee, you’ll earn money for every unit you send back.

How many solar panels are needed to power a house?

It depends on your home’s size and energy use, but a typical 3-bedroom house might need 10–14 panels (about 3.5kW–5kW system). We’ll size your system based on your actual usage, so you get what you need – no more, no less.

Do I need to tell my electricity supplier I have solar panels?

Yes – but we’ll take care of it for you. After installation, we register your system with your supplier and any relevant schemes like SEG. It’s all part of the service.

What is the lifespan of solar panels?

Solar panels typically last 25–30 years, and many come with warranties to match. The inverter may need replacing after 10–15 years, but the panels themselves are designed to go the distance.
