have a space to store the batteries that we'll get onto in a in a short while in this video is your roof VI viable is it sound is it strong enough do you have the right aspect Garden so you're getting the right amount of sunlight to be able to Warrant using the solar panels there's lots of variables to consider when making this decision so money saving let's talk about how solar panels can save you money solar panels can help homeowners reduce their energy cost and in some instances they can actually make money from their solar panels as well so we will get into that shortly as the electricity

little bit more about all the things you should consider before investing in solar panels and if they're right the right solution for you probably number one is going to be your return on investment do you feel like this is going to be a Savvy decision a Savvy investment and the rate on your investment the return on your investment will widely change depending on your situation depending on your roof even you know how many uh panels can you fit on your roof how what the orientation is of your home uh whether you how much storage you have for the battery which we'll get on to shortly um everything from you know do you need to invest in your roof before you can even start so these are going to be changeable figures but you can expect to see some return on your investment between four and 10 years time once you invest in getting them installed additionally to that you know if the electricity prices keep rising at the rates that they are then you will take less time to make your money back which is an important factor too to maximize this you need to make sure that you're using your power wisely so use your power to run those expensive things during the daytime and then if you maybe don't have enough stored in your batteries then use the evening tariff to get cheaper electricity to power things like electric vehicles or something that's a bit more expensive maybe you can run your utilities and things like that too now battery storage is a huge part of whether you can make this an investment that's going to pay off a lot quicker uh how efficient you are going to be able to use your solar power and how much you can actually store of the power that you are creating obviously the sun is only shining during the day so to be able to store that electricity is it's imperative to make it something that's going to be a Sound Investment at the point of getting it installed your installer will be able to talk this through with you but you need to work out how much battery you need how many storage devices to store enough power to run your household for the entire day and the evening when the sun isn't shining because of this you're going to need to have enough space and you don't really want it like in your kitchen in your dining room you're probably going to need this stored located in an outl building such as a garage or something that's not within you know the downstairs potentially in your Loft area if you can fireproof it well enough uh but you need to consider this in your plans now let's talk about net metering now this is essentially having enough electricity that you have too much so you will be able to sell some back to the grid to the utilities and this is actually not going to be an option that will make you more money than it will save you so you'll be paying more to buy the electricity if you were to buy it from the electricity company then you would be to sell it to them however if you're away or if you have a surplus to your requirements then it's a really good idea to actually include this in your sums and your investment to work out exactly how quickly you'll be able to get your return on investment and how much money you can make on it as I said if you're in like an economy 7 tariff from someone like octopus you will actually be paying about a third less for your energy overnight so would it make sense to maybe sell that electricity back to the grid if you can use electricity on a a nighttime tariff for less money it's all these different things that you need to do your own research on and factor into your budget so incentives and government grants and tax relief many governments will give you uh a grant to help you start this process uh you may well be getting tax cut for having solar energy of course this is better for the environment it's better for the planet so there are going to be some taxable benefits here for you uh but as I said there will be some links for you in the description bar to help you with that information energy Independence is a big one so you know you may well not want to be dependent on an energy company to get your electricity you may well be worried about outages or shortages or increased costs and having your own solar panels creating your own energy is just one way of being a little bit more in control of something that can feel a little bit outside of your control for the most part maintenance and lifespan you must ensure that you are doing your research here that you're buying a product that potentially May well cost you a little bit more in the short term but in the long run for example IO has a great lifespan and safety measures and and that can actually reduce the cost of you know having to replace it sooner or having to do more maintenance and more upkeep so definitely do your research on this part of the plan as well look into financing options this can be maybe direct from your uh fitter or it could be through your bank if you choose to do that but if you can't afford to do this outright but you know that the long-term investment is right for you then think about looking into finance options we have touched on this but system sizing and location can be really a big impact when it comes comes to what you're going to get out of your system the type of roof that you have is really important here the size of your roof the orientation of your garden you know if you're North facing and you don't really get much Sunshine could you maybe use your garden or a field if you have it instead if you haven't got a sound roof or if it won't take much weight cuz these are Hefty things especially if you want like a minimum of around 10 panels to really optimize the amount of energy that you can produce you have to look into this as part of your plans when you're first starting out because it it may well be that solar panels actually aren't going to benefit you you also need to think about are you going to stay in your home for a considerable amount of time you know to get to that four to 10 years before you actually start making money from your investment so there's lots of questions you need to ask yourself to make sure that you're making the right decision but of course we can be increasing the value of our homes by installing solar panels because you know you've done all the work you've had it installed you can prove that you can save money by using solar panels so if you are potentially looking to sell 5 to 10 years time then it will increase the value of your property having those solar panels and then it's about tracking the usage that you have and the savings that you're making and IO have a brilliant app for this which is really really easy to use and navigate and making sure that your consumption isn't too high and that if you have any excess energy you can sell it back to the grid and justing having that control over your usage and of course you know how much you're creating as well so I hope this video has been helpful when it comes to what solar panels are how they are going to be beneficial to your home and if they are the right solution for your own energy consumption thank you so much to IO for working with me on this I certainly have learned so much about solar panels and it's definitely something we are now considering for our home because we've you know we're planning to be here for a long time and we know that we can make a Sound Investment now and it see us through for a long lot of time to come so I will be leaving all the links for you in the description bar I really hope this video has been helpful and I will see you guys in my next video take care bye ...
