Contact UsWith electricity prices at near-record highs, every kWh generated by your solar panels will knock money off of your energy bill.
Homes with solar panels typically have higher property values and sell faster than those without, making it a valuable investment for homeowners.
Installing solar panels demonstrates a business's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability practices, which can enhance its reputation and appeal to environmentally conscious customers, employees, and stakeholders.
Not only will you save money on your energy bills but, because Solar Tech Solutions are a fully MCS certified company, you can actually sell any excess power back to the grid!
Solar power produces clean energy with no greenhouse gas emissions, helping to mitigate climate change and reduce your carbon footprint.
By generating their own electricity, businesses become less dependent on utility companies and volatile energy markets.
The UK government offers many forms of financial support & incentives to businesses interested in transforming their energy strategy.
Solar panels provide a reliable source of energy, especially in areas prone to power outages or where grid infrastructure is unreliable.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, typically lasting 25 years or more with regular cleaning and occasional inspections.
The solar industry creates jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, contributing to UK economic growth and employment opportunities.
Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to both air pollution and climate change, solar energy is a renewable and sustainable resource, converting the power from the sun into electricity.
Solar power also helps to conserve natural resources, protect ecosystems, and reduce air and water pollution associated with traditional energy sources.
If the up-front cost of fitting solar panels is putting you off installing them in your home, then you might be interested to hear that there are several UK Government & Energy Supplier initiatives that provide partial or full funding for solar panel installations.
Below are a list of available solar panel grants & funding options, including what's on offer, any eligibility requirements, and links to the application process.
| Funding | Availability | Savings | Eligibility | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0% VAT | April 2022 to March 2027 | 20% of solar installation cost | All UK Residential Customers | UK Government |
|
Since the 1st of April 2022, there has been a zero-rate of VAT on the installation of energy-saving materials, including solar panels, in residential accommodation. Although there are a few exceptions, if you use the same provider for both supply and install there is no VAT to pay on the solar panels, the solar inverter, the batteries, or on the cost of the installation. Moreover, in February 2024, the UK Government extended the VAT exemption to include standalone battery installations and retrofitted solar batteries, so it's now cheaper than ever to add storage to your solar PV system. |
