Return on investment
Millions of Brits are making the move to solar energy. Why? There are many reasons and in this article, we outline some of the main reasons and benefits as to making the switch towards clean, green solar energy with Green Squirrel.
Why?
OFGEM recently announced that energy prices will again rise by 5% in January 2024. With the war in Ukraine and the problems in the Middle East this could be the future of energy prices rising every 3 months. Moneysaving expert Martin Lewis was recently on ‘This Morning’ warning consumers not to go on a fixed deal as these are 4% above.
The best way to combat rising prices and the squeeze on the family income is to generate your own electricity combating any rise in energy prices. There has never been a better time than right now to start looking at getting solar power. People often think of solar in the summer but the best time of year is in the winter months as companies are not so busy and prices drop.
Benefits…
- Getting solar panels with Green Squirrel can save up to 90% off your electricity costs.
- We use the very latest technology to make full use of the power generated.
- Ability to store surplus energy even when the sun goes down.
- You can earn income from the excess solar energy you don’t need – making it even more sustainable.
How does solar work?
You can use Solar Panels to generate green electricity from sunlight. Over 900,000 homes across the country already benefit from clean, affordable solar power. A Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) module absorbs and converts sunlight into electricity. They don’t need direct sunlight to work – they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day.
Solar PV modules are supplied as a sealed unit with a specific voltage and wattage rating. In order to provide electricity for a building, Solar PV modules have to be combined in a system with other components (including an inverter, wiring and roof mounting kit). PV cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most PV systems are made up of panels that fit on top of an existing roof, but you can also fit solar tiles.
You don’t need planning permission to install solar unless you live in a listed building. However, in Conservation Areas or World Heritage sites, the equipment must be installed on the roof, not on a wall that would be visible from a highway.
What can Green Squirrel offer you?
Air Source Heat Pump
Air source heat pumps only use electricity, so they’re a low-carbon way of keeping your home warm. Green Squirrel energy offer a range of heat pumps. You can expect a heat pump to last for 20+ years – longer than the average lifespan of a gas boiler. Homeowners in England, Wales and Scotland can claim a £7,500 government grant. Green Squirrel can advise and help on this. Find out more here…
Solar Power
Having solar PV panels installed at your property, dramatically help reduce the future cost of energy in your home. Utilising the latest technology, you can make full use of the power generated, easily storing surplus energy to use as and when you need it. You can also earn income from the solar energy you create.

Solar Battery
Solar panels are great at capturing the sun’s energy and using it to power your house. But with a home battery you can take it to the next level and store that energy to use later. Although you won’t generate energy at night, but by storing it during the day, you’ll have your own supply to use in the evening. Which means you’ll use less from the grid, helping you lower your bills and become more energy independent. Earn money exporting back into the grid. With stored energy in your battery, simply export it back to the grid and get paid for it. Join a Smart Export Guarantee and we’ll help set you up with that. Find out more here…
