How Solar Reduces Your Bills
Solar panels generate free electricity during daylight hours. Any energy you use while panels are generating is free. But at night and on dark winter days, you'll still draw from the grid and pay your energy supplier.
Typical Bill Reduction
Without battery: 30-50% bill reduction (£300-£500/year saved). With battery: 60-80% bill reduction (£500-£1,100/year saved). Your remaining bill covers nighttime and winter shortfall electricity.
Earning from Surplus Energy
Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you're paid for surplus electricity exported to the grid. This earns £50-£150/year, further offsetting any remaining electricity costs.
