Depending on the size and scope of your installation, you will get back your project costs via savings within 4-7 years post installation. Adding additional elements such as hot water valves in warmer months in conjunction with an air source heat pump and you will see greater savings and energy efficiencies.

With all the uncertainty going on in the world around us, increasing energy prices and supply chain problems, installing solar panels can give you the cost savings and assurance in a changing world, that you need. Renewable energy installations like solar panels give you the peace of mind and cost control you want.

Whatever we believe about Climate change, it is undoubtedly in our collective best interests to reduce our use of fossil fuels. Installing a renewable energy source into your home or business will be more than doing your part but will also give you control over your energy costs, and if all else fails, allow you to glow in the smugness of having done the right thing for your fellow earthly inhabitants.

For even greater peace of mind, consider installing a hot water diverter valve, taking advantage of greater solar efficiency in the warmer months of the year. The valve works with a hot water cylinder system, and works like an immersion heater, to heat water without the need for gas or electricity. This is best arranged in conjunction with an Air source heat pump (ASHP) installation which will maximise your energy efficiencies and costs.

The UK government applies 0% VAT charge to the supply and installation of all residential solar panel projects. This scheme is set to expire in 2027 but the rate will only rise to 5% thereafter.

Installing solar panels with a range of other renewable energy elements greatly enhances the overall efficiency of the combined elements. Batteries can be used to store excess energy for use at more convenient or more expensive electricity provision times. Installing heat pumps and particularly air source heat pumps (ASHP), which are increasingly energy efficient is a perfect combination in conjunction with solar panel installations. For those with an electric or plug in hybrid car, electric car charging ports are an essential addition to further reduce re-charging costs.
