A No-Brainer Investment
Installing solar panels had a huge knock-on effect on the energy efficiency of Robert’s home.
The initial upgrades allowed the panels to work harder, meaning that Robert could add both a hot water diverter and an electric car charger to his system. They’re all powered by the excess energy the solar panels generate. Circularity is the name of the game in Robert’s house now. “Our habits have changed. Now we work around the energy, so in summer, we run the appliances at certain points of the day when the sun is out.”
Not only is the household now more responsive to the environment, but it has also cut its bills in half – summer bills are down 50%, while winter bills are down 15%.
“It’s a no-brainer to invest in it. It is improving our BRE rating, adding value to the house. And we’re saving energy, getting a long-term payback, and doing our bit for the earth.”
Solar Electric installs solar panels in Wexford, but we also install solar panels in Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, Galway, and many other locations.
