Reducing your carbon footprint for a greener future

As solar panel installers in Sunderland, we are helping households make the move to solar PV to generate sustainable energy that will impact on their carbon emissions. New solar panels combined with battery storage will reduce your dependence on the National Grid and potential sources of non-renewable energy.

So what difference do solar PV systems have on household carbon emissions? The Energy Saving Trust estimates that a typical home producing its own solar energy could reduce its emissions by as much as 1 tonne of carbon per year, though for much larger households consuming more energy, the carbon savings can be even greater.

Enjoy energy bill savings with solar

Solar panel systems can have a massive impact on energy bills. Home solar production allows households to use the electricity produced during daylight hours, and when combined with a solar battery, energy can be stored for later use.

Generating your own sustainable energy effectively reduces your need to draw electricity from the Grid, and your energy bills will reduce as a result. In addition, by participating in the Smart Export Guarantee scheme, any electricity produced by your solar PV panels that you do not use, can be sold to the Grid in return for payment.

How much could you save with solar? The Energy Saving Trust estimates that a household generating their own electricity through solar, and selling any excess energy with SEG, could generate an annual saving/income of up to £485.

	Annual saving/income with SEG
Home all day	£485
Home in mornings	£420
Home in afternoons	£395
Out all day until 4pm	£330
Out all day until 6pm	£305

Ready to go solar and create your own green energy?

Investing in solar photovoltaic panels is a great move for households wanting to reduce bills and their impact on the environment. Modern solar panels are highly efficient and are able to generate solar electricity even when conditions are not overly sunny since solar panels do not require direct sunlight in order to generate solar energy.

While solar panels are typically fitted to a pitched roof space for best results, they can however be fitted to flat roofs, walls or even ground mounted, so do not be overly concerned if you think your roof space is less than perfect, it may still be suitable. Solar panel systems and installation aren’t anywhere near as costly as they used to be in the past, so if you’d written off the idea of going solar previously due to cost, it might be worth you thinking again.

With the costs of electricity hitting unprecedented highs in recent times, there has probably never been a better time to go solar. As installers of solar panels in Sunderland, we can assess your home or business’ suitability for a solar panel installation and provide you with a completely free no obligation quote.

Solar panels Sunderland FAQs

How many solar panels will I need?

The number of solar panels you will need will depend on many different factors including your current energy usage, the level of sunlight in your area, the size and orientation of your solar panels, and the efficiency levels of your solar panels. If your energy demand is excessively high then you may need more solar panels (if your roof can accommodate them) and potentially multiple solar batteries.

Is planning permission required for solar panels in Sunderland?

In most situations, planning permission is not usually required for solar panels as they would usually be considered Permitted Development. The situation is somewhat different if the property is in a conservation area or the solar panels are intended for a Listed Building, in which planning approval will usually be required from the local authority.

Do solar panels have a warranty?

Yes, the majority of solar panels come with lengthy warranties usually ranging from 10 to 20 years. The warranty will vary from one manufacturer to another. Most solar panels require minimal maintenance and are expected to last around 20-25 years, though some could last even longer.
