HomeBenchmark buying guide
Should you consider solar panel installers?
Solar is not simply a roof purchase: it changes how your household buys, uses and potentially exports electricity. The strongest case is usually a suitable roof, meaningful electricity use and a plan to stay long enough to benefit.
- Lower daytime grid imports when solar is generating.
- Potential payment for exported electricity on an eligible export tariff.
- More useful self-consumption when paired with battery storage, smart appliances or EV charging.
- Reduced exposure to some future electricity-price increases, without pretending the home becomes energy independent.
