WHY GO SOLAR?

If you're interested in switching to renewable solar energy, Solar Tech Solutions can install a sleek, modern solar array on your roof or property.

Solar power reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and not only will you enjoy energy savings every month, but you'll receive peace of mind in knowing you're doing your part to fight climate change and improve humanity's hopes for a better tomorrow.

We'd be happy to provide a home energy audit after installation to see what else can be done to maximize your energy efficiency.

Explore the Many Benefits of Going Solar

  • All
  • Residential
  • Commercial

Cost Savings

With electricity prices at near-record highs, every kWh generated by your solar panels will knock money off of your energy bill.

Property Value

Homes with solar panels typically have higher property values and sell faster than those without, making it a valuable investment for homeowners.

Green Credentials

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.

Income

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!

Climate Change

Solar power produces clean energy with no greenhouse gas emissions, helping to mitigate climate change and reduce your carbon footprint.

Energy Independence

By generating their own electricity, businesses become less dependent on utility companies and volatile energy markets.

Financial Incentives

The UK government offers many forms of financial support & incentives to businesses interested in transforming their energy strategy.

Energy Security

Solar panels provide a reliable source of energy, especially in areas prone to power outages or where grid infrastructure is unreliable.

Low Maintenance

Solar panels require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, typically lasting 25 years or more with regular cleaning and occasional inspections.

Job Creation

The solar industry creates jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, contributing to UK economic growth and employment opportunities.

Renewable Energy

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.

Environmental Benefits

Solar power also helps to conserve natural resources, protect ecosystems, and reduce air and water pollution associated with traditional energy sources.

Solar Panel Funding Options

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

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.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) enables small-scale low-carbon generators to receive payments from electricity suppliers for electricity that they export back to the National Grid, providing certain criteria are met.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain designed to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions.

Although all the details have not yet been fleshed out by the Labour Government, their Warm Homes Plan aims to help to save households money and deliver cleaner heat to homes.

The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) is aimed at improving energy efficiency in homes that have a low Energy Performance Certificate rating, (EPC rating of D or below), a non-mains gas heating system and have a household income of less than £36,000.

The HUG scheme is funded by the UK Government but is managed by your local authority. More information on the Home Upgrade Grant scheme can be found here
