Solar panels are an effective way to reduce your electricity bills by generating clean energy from daylight to power your home. Even on cloudy days, solar panels can still produce electricity, helping to lower your reliance on the national grid throughout the year.
When your home requires more electricity than your solar panels are generating, such as during the evening or overnight, energy is normally imported from the grid, which is what your electricity supplier charges you for.
This is where the power of battery storage systems comes into play.
Battery storage allows any unused solar energy generated during the day to be stored for later use, ready to power your home whenever you need it most. This means your solar panels can charge the battery during daylight hours, allowing you to use that stored energy later in the evening instead of purchasing electricity from the grid.
Combined with smart energy tariffs, battery systems can deliver even greater savings. Many energy suppliers now offer time-of-use tariffs, allowing you to charge your battery overnight at significantly cheaper electricity rates while demand is low. That lower-cost energy can then be used during peak-rate periods, helping you maximise savings all year round.
In addition, if your system generates more electricity than your home requires, you may also benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), where excess electricity exported back to the grid can earn you money from your energy supplier.
Together, solar panels and battery storage can help homeowners dramatically reduce energy bills, increase energy independence, and make better use of renewable energy every day.

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days as they use daylight, not just direct sunlight. However, their output will be reduced. During winter, shorter daylight hours and lower sun angles mean less electricity generation. This is where battery storage becomes particularly valuable.
In most cases, installing solar panels on your house is considered “permitted development” and does not require planning permission. However, exceptions apply if you live in a conservation area, a listed building, or have specific local restrictions.
Solar panels are relatively low maintenance. They are designed with a self-cleaning coating that allows rainwater to wash away dirt. However, occasional manual cleaning may be beneficial in dusty areas or if debris accumulates. Regular checks every couple of years and after severe weather are recommended.
Most solar panels come with performance warranties of 25 years, guaranteeing a certain percentage of their initial output. The panels themselves can last even longer, often 30 years or more, with a gradual degradation in efficiency over time (typically around 0.5% per year).
You don’t need a smart meter for your solar panels to work, but it’s strongly recommended. A smart meter helps you track how much energy you’re generating and using in real time, and it’s essential if you want to claim export payments for the electricity you send back to the grid. If you have a smart meter, any surplus energy your panels produce can be exported back to the grid, and you’ll earn money for each unit. The rate you receive depends on your energy supplier and tariff.
We install solar panels and renewables across all these local areas.
