Home solar energy systems have never been so popular. With energy bills rising and any government assistance only temporary, we have to take matters into our own hands to protect ourselves.

If we can lower energy bills while also generating renewable energy for our home and family, all the better!

Sunstore Solar can help. We are experts in home solar and can supply and install systems to homes and businesses across Sussex.

Benefits of home solar

The benefits of home solar are many and are becoming more compelling all the time.

Renewable energy for your home

The primary benefit is generating clean, renewable energy for your home and family.

You can generate free energy during daylight hours to power everything in your home. Then, at night, you can switch back to grid supply to keep everything working.

If you don’t want to switch back to the grid, you can include batteries in your system to store energy generated during the day for use at night. The grid can then be kept for emergencies.

Lower energy bills

The secondary benefit of solar power for homes is lowering energy bills. Price fluctuations over the past couple of years have been devastating for many families. Home solar is a way to escape the worst of that.

You will still use electricity and may still use gas, but much less than before!

Lower your CO2 emissions

If you want to lower your environmental impact, residential solar is ideal.

You generate clean renewable energy and use much less grid-generated energy (at least partially generated by fossil fuels). Until the grid goes completely green, this is your primary way of reducing the environmental impact of your home.

Energy independence

Home solar energy also provides energy independence. Whatever happens in the world, however the climate changes, the sun will still shine and you can still generate reliable energy.

That’s a powerful motivator for switching to solar!

Solar panels for your home can:

  • Generate clean renewable energy
  • Use batteries to store that energy for use at night
  • Generate green energy even when it’s cloudy
  • Provide a return on investment in just a few years
  • Provide true energy independence for you and your family
  • Maintain your grid connection so you always have energy

How housing solar panels work

Installing solar power for homes is a very straightforward process. It’s fast, great value and can be completed within a couple of days.

As home solar experts, Sunstore Solar are very experienced in supplying and installing home solar energy systems.

The process works a little something like this:

  1. We assess your property using Google Maps and a free home survey
  2. We discuss your energy requirements and roof configuration so there’s enough solar panels for your home
  3. We schedule an installation date that suits you. Depending on the complexity of the installation, we’ll need between 1-3 days
  4. We install your home solar system and any batteries you may require
  5. You’re ready to begin generating your own clean energy!

Home solar energy systems are designed to work alongside your grid connection, not replace it.

When you’re generating energy, you don’t draw electricity from the grid. When you’re not generating energy, at night for example, you can draw electricity from the grid.

Use a battery system alongside your home solar and you can reduce grid usage even further!

    Solar power for homes FAQs

    Home solar costs from £4,250 depending on the number of solar panels, whether you have battery storage or not and the complexity of the installation. We will provide a firm quote after the survey. There are no hidden fees or added extras, so the price you see is the price you pay.

    Yes, solar panels are definitely worth it even though the feed-in tariff has ended. Energy bills have fluctuated massively over the past couple of years and energy security has become a primary concern for many families. Solar panels help reduce energy bills and provide energy security for you and your family.

    Solar panels are fixed to your roof using special rail systems designed for the purpose. Our expert installers ensure no tiles are damaged, the roof maintains its integrity and remains waterproof. The rail system can support the solar panels and cope with high winds and rain so there’s no risk to your roof.

    The number of solar panels you need for your home depends on how much energy you need to generate. We calculate your average energy use, average number of daylight hours and roof angle to come up with an approximate figure to help with this question.

    We’ll work with you to ensure you’re always generating enough energy for your needs without wasting any.

    The majority of homes within the UK do not need planning permission for home solar as it’s covered under permitted development. You should check with your local authority to make sure though as these things can change.

    If you live in an area of outstanding natural beauty, national park or conservation area, you may need planning. Again, we recommend checking with your local authority to make sure.
