5 reasons to switch to renewable energy for better savings

If you’re considering switching to renewable energy, you might be wondering what the cost benefits are. If you’ve been used to relying on traditional energy sources, making the switch can seem like a big transition - but there’s never been a better time to do it.

Here are 5 reasons to switch to renewable energy and how Solar Services Solutions could start saving you money today.

1. Immediate savings on your energy bills

The first thing you’ll notice about switching to renewable energy is the savings you make on your energy bills. With the average annual fuel bill estimated to increase by 54% on current levels in the coming months, there’s never been a better time to switch.

Rather than shelling out to your energy provider every month, it’s time to become self-sufficient. As energy prices continue to rise, you can see a dramatic drop in your bills from day one with renewable energy. The sooner you make the move, the sooner you can see the savings.

2. Sell your energy back to the grid

Thanks to the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) you can now sell any excess renewable energy you generate back to the grid. This means that your green energy solutions can actually earn you money, paying you back many times the cost of installation over time. The SEG scheme covers a range of different renewable energy technologies, including solar panels.

3. Pay 0% VAT on any green home improvements

The government is doing everything they can to encourage people to make the switch to more renewable energy. As of March 2022, there is now zero VAT on renewable home improvements, such as solar panels, heat pumps and insulation. This could lead to tax savings worth £1000. The tax break is set to last for the next 5 years so now is the time to make the switch and take advantage of the scheme to save more.

4. Boost your property value

While making the move to renewable energy can seem like a big commitment, it can dramatically increase your property value overnight. With increases starting at approximately £1800 and only set to increase as house prices boom, renewable energy could give a happy boost to your sale price. 

5. Get a free energy consumption evaluation

To give you peace of mind, our services include a free energy consumption evaluation to assess what renewable energy solutions are best for you. This allows our accredited MCS installers and qualified engineers to ensure that you will maximise on usage and increase the return on your investment.
