Powering UK homes using Solar Energy

At YellowTree, we specialise in helping homeowners across the UK make the switch to solar energy. Our residential solar installations are designed to reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources, lower your electricity bills, and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. Whether you’re looking to cut costs or do your part in protecting the environment, our expert team is here to provide a seamless solar installation experience tailored to your home.

What Are Residential Solar Installations?

Residential solar installations involve placing photovoltaic (PV) panels on your roof or property to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This electricity powers your home, reducing the amount of energy you need from the national grid. Any surplus energy you generate can often be sold back to the grid, providing additional financial benefits.

 

How Does It Work?

Solar Panels: High-efficiency solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.

Inverter: The inverter converts the DC electricity from your panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type used by most household appliances.

Energy Storage (Optional): With a solar battery system, you can store excess energy produced during the day for use at night or on cloudy days, maximising your energy independence.

Grid Connection: Any surplus electricity you don’t use can be exported back to the national grid, and you may be eligible for payments under schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

Benefits of Residential Solar Installations

  1. Significant Savings on Energy Bills – By generating your own electricity, you can dramatically reduce your monthly energy costs. Depending on your system size and energy consumption, many homeowners see savings of up to 70% on their electricity bills.

 

  1. Increase the Value of Your Home – Homes with solar installations are seen as more valuable and energy-efficient, making them more attractive to potential buyers. Installing solar can increase your property’s resale value.

 

  1. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint – Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of power. By installing solar panels, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and lower your household’s carbon emissions, helping to combat climate change.

 

  1. Energy Independence – Take control of your energy supply by generating your own electricity. Solar panels, especially when paired with a battery storage system, offer greater independence from rising energy costs and grid instability.

 

  1. Take Advantage of Government Incentives – In the UK, schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allow homeowners to sell excess electricity back to the grid, offering financial rewards on top of energy savings. Our team will guide you through available incentives and help you make the most of them.

 

  1. Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting – Solar panels require very little maintenance and are designed to last for decades. With regular cleaning and occasional checks, your system can provide reliable, low-cost energy for 25 years or more.
