On-Grid Solar Solutions for UK Homes and Businesses


Welcome to Our On-Grid Solar Solutions
In the UK, on-grid solar systems offer an incredible opportunity for homeowners and businesses to harness renewable energy from the sun while staying connected to the national electricity grid. Our on-grid solar solutions are designed to provide you with reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable energy, reducing your reliance on traditional electricity sources and potentially saving you hundreds of pounds each year.

What Is On-Grid Solar?
An on-grid solar system is a type of solar power installation that is connected to the national electricity grid. This means that your solar panels generate electricity that you can use to power your home or business, and any excess energy produced is fed back into the grid. In return, you may receive payments or credits for the electricity you export, helping to further reduce your energy costs.

Benefits of On-Grid Solar in the UK

  •  Lower Electricity Bills
        Generate Your Own Power: By using solar energy to power your home or business, you reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from your energy provider. This can significantly lower your energy bills, especially during the summer months when solar energy production is at its peak.
        Use Energy During the Day: On-grid systems allow you to use the electricity generated by your solar panels in real-time, meaning you don’t have to rely on expensive electricity from the grid during the day.
  • Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Payments
        Under the UK government’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, homeowners and businesses with on-grid solar can get paid for any excess electricity they export to the national grid. This means you not only save on your electricity bills but may also generate an additional income from the energy you don’t use.
  • Flexible Contracts: Energy suppliers offer different SEG tariffs, so you can choose the one that suits your energy needs and consumption patterns.
  • Sustainable Energy Source
        Eco-Friendly: Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source. By using solar energy, you contribute to reducing your carbon footprint, helping to fight climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
        Government Commitment to Green Energy: The UK is committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. By adopting solar power, you align with the country’s green energy goals.
  • Increase in Property Value
        Homes and commercial properties with solar systems are increasingly seen as more attractive by potential buyers. On-grid solar panels can increase the value of your property due to their long-term energy savings and eco-friendly appeal.
        Future-Proofing Your Home or Business: As energy prices rise, a property with solar panels becomes a more attractive option, as buyers know they will benefit from lower energy bills.
  • Low Maintenance and Reliable
        On-grid solar systems are relatively low maintenance. Once installed, they generally require minimal attention. Regular cleaning and occasional checks are enough to ensure they’re operating efficiently.
        Backed by Warranty: Solar panels typically come with warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, providing long-term peace of mind.

    How Does an On-Grid Solar System Work?

Here’s a breakdown of how an on-grid solar system works:

  • Solar Panels Capture Sunlight: Solar panels installed on your roof or property capture sunlight and convert it into DC (direct current) electricity.
  • Inverter Converts DC to AC: The electricity produced by the panels is in DC form, but most appliances in your home or business use AC (alternating current) electricity. An inverter is used to convert the DC power into AC power so it can be used to run your lights, appliances, and other devices.
  • Electricity Usage: The electricity your solar system generates is used to power your home or business in real-time. Any surplus energy that you don’t use is sent to the national grid.
  • Metering and SEG Payments: A bi-directional meter is installed to measure both the energy you consume and the energy you export to the grid. The excess electricity exported to the grid may earn you payments through the SEG scheme.
  • Grid Backup: When your solar panels aren’t producing enough energy (e.g., at night or during cloudy days), your system will automatically draw electricity from the national grid. This ensures that you always have access to reliable power.

    How Much Can You Save with On-Grid Solar?
    The savings you can achieve with an on-grid solar system depend on several factors, including:
  • Energy Consumption: The more electricity you use during daylight hours, the more you can benefit from solar power. The system generates electricity when it’s sunny, so using energy during the day maximizes the savings.
  • Size of the System: The size of the solar panel system determines how much electricity it can generate. A larger system will produce more energy and reduce more of your reliance on the grid.
  • SEG Tariff Rates: The amount you earn from exporting excess electricity to the grid depends on the SEG tariff your energy supplier offers. Some suppliers offer higher rates for the energy you export, so it’s important to shop around and find the best deal.
    As an example, a typical 4kW system can save a household around £200 to £300 annually on electricity bills, and with SEG payments, you could earn an additional £50 to £150 per year, depending on the amount of excess energy you export.

    Is an On-Grid Solar System Right for You?
    An on-grid solar system is ideal for homeowners and businesses that want to reduce their electricity bills, contribute to the environment, and earn income through SEG payments. It’s particularly suitable for:
  • Homes with a high daytime electricity usage (e.g., families, offices, or businesses that use energy during the day).
  • Properties with good roof space for solar panel installation.
  • Customers who want a cost-effective and reliable solution with minimal maintenance.
    If you’re interested in a solution that allows you to generate renewable energy, reduce your carbon footprint, and save on electricity bills, an on-grid solar system could be the perfect fit.
