8 reasons to get solar panels on your home

Most people would love to save money on their domestic energy bills, and the summer is the ideal time to do it. And that is not just because you don’t need the heating on. It’s because all that sunlight is producing huge amounts of energy, which can be harnessed if you have solar panels on your home.

While a decade ago solar energy provided virtually no power, around 840,000 homes in the UK now have solar panels – also known as photovoltaics (PV) – and the renewable energy source regularly generates around a fifth of the country’s electricity for hours on summer days. The spell of hot, dry summer weather have helped break several solar power-generation records, and recently even very briefly eclipsed gas power stations, as the UK’s top source of electricity.
