Transitioning Your Chislehurst Property to Solar
Solar technology and battery systems have evolved in recent years, providing excellent functionality with more accessible pricing, supported by zero-VAT treatment to help make solar transitions cost-effective. There are multiple benefits, from vastly reducing your electricity costs to making your home greener, with a significant drop in the carbon output of your property and independence from the grid.
Switching to solar energy provides immediate cost savings, with a home in Chislehurst seeing a reduction in utility bills that will cover the original investment in solar panel systems within a few years.
Opting for a battery can expedite the payback period, where the stored energy is available on-demand overnight to ensure you do not need to fall back on mains electricity. Surplus power can also be sold back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee system to provide additional income.
Properties in the southeast with sustainable, zero-cost solar power systems increase in value by up to approximately 17%. If you ever decide to sell, you will recoup a considerable return on your investment.
Assessing Chislehurst Roofing Structures for Solar Installations
A site visit to inspect your roof is essential, particularly for older homes where the roof may need to be reinforced to ensure it is robust enough to bear the weight of your solar panel systems. Most homes are suited to solar panels, but this assessment helps us to evaluate the roof size, aspect and pitch to suggest the right solar energy set-up.
As an indication of some of the factors, our solar panel assessors will review the following:
- The size of the roof – the larger the roof, the more panels it may be able to accommodate. However, if your energy consumption is modest, a more compact set of panels may be better suited to your needs.
- Roof aspect – south-facing roofs are ideal and capture the most sunlight, but solar panels also work effectively on east and west-aspect roofs, provided they aren’t under shade due to trees.
- Pitch – solar panels work well on pitched roofs and are less suited to flat roofs.
If you would like further information about whether your property is ready for a solar panel installation, please get in touch at any time.
GR Regan is committed to excellent service, so our engineers can offer advice about the number and location of solar cells that will have the capacity to provide all of your electricity requirements, the best mountings and frames for your roof, and battery brands if you choose to incorporate solar energy storage.
We offer quotations and roof assessments on request, and where remedial or repair work is necessary to reinforce the support structure of your roof, we will indicate this with an itemised estimate to ensure you have a clear oversight of your budget.
