Solar Panel Installers Felsham

Cut your energy bills:

Combat rising energy costs and generate your own electricity instead of relying on the grid. This lowers your monthly electricity bills and lets you sell any excess energy back to the grid, making solar panels worth the investment.

Shrink your carbon footprint:

Solar energy is clean, renewable, and sustainable, meaning you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support a healthier planet.

Boost your property value:

Solar panels are an attractive feature for buyers, helping make your property more desirable if you decide to sell in the future.

How Does SEG Work?

It’s simple:

✅ Your energy supplier pays you for every unit of electricity you export

✅ You don’t need to buy electricity from the same company you sell to

✅ However, some suppliers offer better SEG rates if you’re both a customer and an exporter

✅ Tip: Shop around to find the SEG tariff that offers the best return for your setup.

Do I Need a Smart Meter?

To take full advantage of SEG, yes—a smart meter is typically required.

Some suppliers may offer basic SEG tariffs without one
However, to maximise your export payments, we highly recommend having a smart meter installed
We’re happy to advise on next steps if you don’t yet have a smart meter.

What Happens Without a Battery?

Without battery storage, any excess electricity your solar panels generate during the day is automatically exported to the National Grid. While this still saves you money and allows you to earn through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), it means you’re not storing that free solar energy for use at night—when your panels aren’t generating power.

Why Choose Battery Storage?

Adding a battery to your solar panel system lets you store and use excess solar energy whenever you need it. Here’s how it benefits you:

 Reduce reliance on the National Grid

 Lower your electricity bills even further

 Protect yourself from future energy price rises

 Maximise your solar investment and energy efficiency

At Solar Suffolk, we install battery systems that integrate seamlessly with your solar panels and provide real-time insights into your energy use and storage.

What If I’m Not Ready for a Battery?

Not ready to invest in battery storage just yet? No problem—there are still ways to boost your solar panel efficiency:

 Use timers to run high-energy appliances during the day

 Install a power diverter to heat water via your immersion heater using surplus electricity

 Add an Energy Management System (EMS) to automate and optimise how energy is used in your home

And remember, even without a battery, you can still earn money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Visit our SEG information page for more details.
