Solar panels for new builds.
Whether you’re working to meet targets and requirements, save the planet or want to boost the saleability of your housing development, solar power is the answer.
As the UK sets its sights on Net Zero, developers are under increased pressure to pay attention to the energy performance ratings of new buildings. As the world’s fastest-growing energy source, many developers are investing in solar panels for new builds, and you should too.
When you’re building houses, you’re also building our future. Choose renewable energy.
Meet SAP regulations with ease
In a bid to tackle the energy crisis, the Government has introduced several measures. All new build homes must now include energy-saving measures and pass SAP calculations. That’s where we come in.
The new legislation means that a minimum of 10% of consumed electricity on site should be self-generated. Note that this figure can vary depending on your local council, so be sure to double-check.
Furthermore, SAP calculations produce Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Ratings. EPC – a legal requirement to rent or sell a property – details information about energy use and typical costs.
Thankfully, adding solar panels to new builds means you’ll easily meet newly introduced measures while investing in renewable energy.
Further reasons to install solar panels on new builds
- Cut roofing costs: installing solar panels during construction is an ideal time to do so. Solar panels on new builds are integrated solar panels as standard, commonly known as BIPVs. So, you will save on tiling costs and often get the most stylish result as the panels are built into the roof at the felt and batten stage.
- Do your bit for the planet: the Energy Saving Trust estimates that solar panels installed on the average UK home could reduce carbon emissions by 1.3 to 1.6 tonnes per year. Wouldn’t it feel good to be part of the solution to the climate crisis?
- Improve saleability: one of the key benefits of solar panels is the potential savings on energy bills, particularly during the energy crisis. So, investing in solar panels can increase the value of your new build and make it increasingly attractive to buyers
- Boost your BREEAM score: the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment (BREEAM) assesses the sustainability rating of a building. As the UK works towards a circular economy, solar panels are a straightforward way to boost your efforts.
Be ahead of the curve
As the Government continue to introduce initiatives to ensure new builds are energy efficient, installing panels as a standard now allows you to be ahead of the curve.
With new legislation coming into play, such as the gas heating ban for new homes from 2025, you can do your part in tackling the climate crisis head-on.
