How to reduce your energy bills with with the roof

It seems one of the things that’s certain in life; the cost of living will continue to increase. And over the last few years you’re bound to have felt your purse strings tighten as energy bills soar and you pay more and more on an annual basis.

Unfortunately there seems nowhere to hide as all the big energy suppliers crank up the costs simultaneously. But you don’t have to be at the mercy of the big six any longer. Instead, you could join thousands of homeowners in harnessing the power of the sun.

Solar panels have become extremely popular over the last few years as energy prices rise, mainly because they offer a route away from the National Grid. You have the opportunity to generate your own electricity and save a fortune in the process.

How does solar work?

Solar panels are installed onto your roof at an optimal angle and position that they’ll draw in plenty of the sun’s rays. The energy is absorbed into the panels and converted into electrical power, which can then be used in the home. This power can run your electrical appliances and lighting, meaning you no longer have to buy grid energy.

What are the financial benefits?

Not only is there the prospect of generating your own electricity and avoiding the grid, but you’ll also be able to earn a fortune too. This is all thanks to the feed-in tariff scheme which pays out for every unit of electricity you produce over a 20-year period.

So in summary:

1. Reduce your energy bills by producing your own power
2. Earn a guaranteed tax-free income from the feed-in tariff scheme

Are there any other benefits to solar panels?

Yes, there are also the environmental benefits to think about, because using solar power is environmentally friendly. With solar you can reduce your home’s carbon footprint as less CO2 emissions are released. CO2 has a massive global effect and is one of the contributors to high global warming issues.
