Whatsmore, community movements and charities such as the Plymouth Energy Community (PEC) are showcasing how to live more sustainably. Impressively, PEC has partnered with Plymouth City Council to develop a community-owned solar farm on an old landfill site!
Yet there’s more to do. Air pollution remains at moderate levels in the city of Plymouth. Every change you make will contribute to the continued success of sustainability in Plymouth, and could save you hundreds of pounds.
How Much Do Solar Panels Cost In Plymouth?

Benefits Of A Solar Panel Battery
While it’s possible to install solar panels without a battery, you’ll miss out on all the brilliant benefits:
Continuous Supply
Batteries store the energy generated from your solar panels. So on those bleak days mid-winter, you can continue to power your home without reverting back to the national grid.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
With a steady supply of solar energy all year round, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
Optimise Your Investment
It makes sense to generate and store as much solar energy as possible if you’re paying for solar panels. A battery lets you make the most of your investment.
Make A Profit
With the use of a battery, you may have more energy than you need. By choosing an SEG energy tariff, you can send your excess energy back to the grid and get paid for it!
Be Self-Sufficient
It feels good to be independent of the national grid for your energy supply. Concerns about blackouts or spiralling costs can be forgotten. With a battery, you can store and supply all the energy you need.
