Solar Installer Gloucester

Gloucester City Council is big on renewable energy and looking at alternative ways to run our homes and local businesses. With plans for themselves to reach net zero by 2030, demand for solar installers across Gloucester is growing. You may have also noticed more homes across Gloucester installing solar panels - according to Government figures, solar panel installations have risen by 10% each year since 2022. This is due to multiple reasons such as more accessible grants, panels themselves becoming more affordable and solar technology improving.

How Solar Panels Can Benefit Your Home

If you’ve been researching the pros and cons of solar - you’ve probably heard the standard benefits like lower energy bills, and a lower carbon footprint. Thanks to technology advancements we’re seeing more and more benefits, here are a few to add to your ‘pro’ list you might not have heard of:

• Energy independence: With solar panels, you can often produce more electricity than your household uses, helping cut down what you need from the National Grid. Any extra electricity you don’t use can be sold back to the grid through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), giving you the chance to earn a bit of money from your surplus energy.
• Increased property value: Homes with high quality solar panels and battery storage can sell for increasingly more than those without. In the Gloucester area, a high quality system with battery storage in a highly sought after area could see an uplift in price of about 5-7%! That translates to anywhere from £11,500 - £16,000+.
• A more resilient home: In areas prone to grid strain or potential blackouts, solar panels - especially when paired with battery storage - provide an important measure of resilience. This is particularly relevant in Gloucester, which is growing steadily: between mid-2022 and mid-2023, Gloucestershire’s population increased by 1.01%, above the South West regional average of 0.77%. As population rises, the demand on the National Grid increases, making home energy independence and backup solutions increasingly valuable.

Why Choosing The Right Solar Installer Matters

Selecting the right solar installer in Gloucester is essential to ensure your solar panels deliver maximum efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. Most homes in Gloucester are terraced or semi-detached houses, with some detached properties in more rural areas. A local installer will have experience working on properties of a similar size, age and condition making the installation process simple and stress-free. They can also guide you through available UK government grants and incentives, such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), helping you get the best financial return on your investment. Poor installation can reduce efficiency, incur extra costs, or create safety risks, whereas a trusted installer in Gloucester ensures you enjoy optimal energy savings, potential property value increases, and peace of mind for years to come.
