Are solar panels really worth it?

Over 1.5 million homes across the UK already have solar panels but people are still asking: are they worth the investment? Not only can solar panels save you money on energy bills, but they can also earn you a bit of extra cash. Plus, they’ll generate electricity even on those typical cloudy days.

Quick Overview: Solar Panels and What to Know

If you want to cut down electricity bills, generate your own energy, or reduce your carbon footprint, solar panels are worth exploring. Here’s a quick summary of the key points…

• Huge Savings: Solar panels could help you save hundreds of pounds per year on your electricity bills, depending on your energy use.
• Earnings with SEG: Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can even get paid for the energy you don’t use. An average household could earn up to £320 per year this way.
• Upfront Costs and Payback: While installation costs average around £7,000, you could break even in around 6 years!
• Low maintenance. Solar panels have minimal moving parts so require very little maintenance. Routine cleaning and occasional checks are usually enough to keep your system running efficiently.
• They could increase your property value. Homes with solar panels can sell for more than those without, as potential buyers are attracted by the savings and eco-friendliness.
