Southampton
Are you looking for more ways to help look after our planet?
The city of Southampton is doing its bit to take care of the environment for current and future generations.
In fact, a recent study found that Southampton has become one of the greenest areas in the Uk to work. Ranking the sixth most environmentally friendly city outside of London.
That’s probably due to the increasing number of charging devices, renewable energy sources, and low traffic per household numbers.
Many organisations and businesses in Southampton are also doing their bit to contribute to the sustainability of the city. Southampton City Council has created a ‘Green Plan’. While Southampton City FC is committed to protecting the planet by tackling waste management, energy resources and biodiversity.

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost In Southampton?
How much are solar panels in Southampton going to cost you?
The answer to that depends on your property and the choices you make. Such as the number and size of the solar panels and inverter requirements.
You may also want to make the most of the South’s sun with a linked battery to store excess sunlight.
Then there are add-on features such as bird netting to protect your solar panels, or perhaps you’d like a personal zappi car charging port to conveniently power your electric vehicle from home. These decisions impact the cost.

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.
