Investing in a renewable energy source for your home holds a multitude of money saving and environmental benefits! Keep reading to find our top 5 reasons why solar panels could be the perfect pick for your home.

Solar panels

Clean Energy Sources

With more emphasis on the environment than in previous years, using renewable sources is more important than ever. Solar power is a brilliant alternative to using fossil fuels and using energy from the sun to power our homes is a great way to be more eco-friendly.

Money Saving

It’s no secret that UK energy bills have been on the rise, impacting thousands of homes across the country. Using renewable energy, like solar power, can help you to stop relying on energy companies because you will be generating your own electricity. In turn, you can save lots of money on your electric bills, as you have your own source of energy that is costing you nothing after the installation process!

Low Maintenance

Another handy benefit that comes with solar panels is that they are extremely low maintenance. Typically they are installed at a slight angle, usually on the roof of your home, making it easy for rain water to run off, and wash away any dirt that might be impacting them. After the installation process, there isn’t really anything you need to do with your solar panels. And they can last up to 25 years and still remain efficient!

No Permits Required

Solar panels are relatively straightforward, and you don’t need to apply for a permit to have them installed, making them nice and simple to acquire! It is wise to consult with an installation company beforehand, so that they can see if your property is suitable for solar panels.

Property Value

Solar panels can be an investment. However, despite the upfront price, you don’t need to maintain them or keep forking out to have them mended. Because of their durability and efficiency, they will help you save money over a long time span, as well as adding value to your property.

Solar panels are an attractive addition to a home, and if you plan on selling your house in the future, they could be a good asset!

Consent form for sharing data with the Energy Saving Trust

We need to check you are eligible for the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and/or Great British Insulation Schemes (GBIS) and/or Land Registry (LR). To do this, for ECO and GBIS we would like to share your information with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) via Energy Saving Trust who will verify whether or not you are receiving the relevant benefits to be eligible for either scheme. To check the ownership of your property as registered with HM Land Registry, we need to submit your information through an online checking service provided by the Energy Saving Trust (EST). This will enable us to securely verify the property’s private ownership against the data on the register. EST will not use this data for any other purpose.

Please note that it is not possible for Energy Saving Trust or us, the company using this service, to see which benefits you are through this service. DWP will only confirm whether you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, not which one. This will not have any impact on future benefit payments.

If you do not want us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust, you will be required to provide copies of documents that provide proof of the benefits you are in receipt of from the DWP.

If you go on to receive funding through ECO4 or GBIS your data may be audited by Ofgem and/or your Energy Supplier to ensure a valid eligibility check has been completed for you. For full information on what will happen to the data we collect about you, please refer to the privacy notices from your Energy Supplier and installer, Energy Saving Trust, DWP, and Ofgem.

By ticking the box below, and providing your details, you agree to share this data with the DWP via Energy Saving Trust.

You can contact us to withdraw your consent for us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust. If you withdraw consent, the collected data will continue to be processed, however no new data will be collected or used for further processing. We will be required to keep a record of any data already processed for the purposes of Ofgem audits however your data would only be audited in cases where you have received funding from ECO4 or GBIS. Data relating to ECO4 and GBIS eligibility checks will be retained until 30 September 2026 unless otherwise notified by Ofgem.
