Plymouth

Are you looking for ways to save money on your energy bills? Do you wish you could source your own energy?

The city of Plymouth is no stranger to affordable, renewable energy. In 2022, Plymouth ranked the second-best city in the UK for renewable energy!

Thanks to thousands of renewable energy sites, plenty of parks, an admirably high take-up of cycling, and the University of Plymouth’s sustainability plan; Plymouth’s dependence on fossil fuels has significantly declined.

Whatsmore, community movements and charities such as the Plymouth Energy Community (PEC) are showcasing how to live more sustainably. Impressively, PEC has partnered with Plymouth City Council to develop a community-owned solar farm on an old landfill site!

Yet there’s more to do. Air pollution remains at moderate levels in the city of Plymouth. Every change you make will contribute to the continued success of sustainability in Plymouth, and could save you hundreds of pounds.

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost In Plymouth?

The all-important question is, how much can you expect to pay for solar panels in Plymouth?

The truth is, that will vary widely depending on your property – the size, how many panels you need, whether you choose to install a battery and the inverter requirements for your solar setup.

Then there’s optional extras such as bird netting to protect your solar panels, or a zappi car charging port to conveniently power your electric vehicle from home.

Benefits Of A Solar Panel Battery

While it’s possible to install solar panels without a battery, you’ll miss out on all the brilliant benefits:

Continuous Supply

Batteries store the energy generated from your solar panels. So on those bleak days mid-winter, you can continue to power your home without reverting back to the national grid.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

With a steady supply of solar energy all year round, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

Optimise Your Investment

It makes sense to generate and store as much solar energy as possible if you’re paying for solar panels. A battery lets you make the most of your investment.

Make A Profit

With the use of a battery, you may have more energy than you need. By choosing an SEG energy tariff, you can send your excess energy back to the grid and get paid for it!

Be Self-Sufficient

It feels good to be independent of the national grid for your energy supply. Concerns about blackouts or spiralling costs can be forgotten. With a battery, you can store and supply all the energy you need.

"My wife and I are over the moon with our solar panels! We had the black ones installed and they look great on the roof. We've also seen a massive decrease in our energy bills. Our battery is storing so much excess energy we're thinking of changing the jag for a tesla so we can save even more (especially with fuel prices now!).

Top work from the solar fast team! 10/10 would recommend!"

"I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Solar Fast, everything from the first visit to the installation run like clockwork and the app is great to check on the system working. I would highly recommend this company."
