Understanding the Energy Price Cap
The energy price cap sets the maximum amount suppliers can charge per unit of electricity and gas. It changes quarterly based on wholesale energy costs. Even when the cap falls, prices remain historically high compared to pre-2021 levels.
How Solar Protects You
Solar panels generate free electricity regardless of the price cap. Every kWh you generate and use is one you don't buy from the grid. With electricity at 24-28p/kWh, a 4kW system saves £500-£800/year — and more if prices rise further.
Lock In Your Savings Now
Installing solar panels today locks in decades of free electricity generation. As energy prices trend upward over time, your savings increase automatically. Combined with battery storage, you can achieve 60-80% self-sufficiency from the grid.
