Solar panels
Ready to take control of your energy bills? Solar panels offer a smart solution and now you can finance them with a Tandem Home Improvement Loan through Project Solar UK.
What are solar panels?
Solar panels are devices that sit on the roof or in the garden of your home, capturing sunlight and turning it into electricity. They're a clean and renewable way to power your household, helping reduce your monthly energy bills.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels use special cells to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. When sunlight hits these cells, it creates an electric current, which is then converted into usable electricity for your home. This electricity can power your lights, appliances, and heating systems.
Even better when you combine with battery storage, as the excess electricity generated by your solar panels can be stored and used later.
Benefits of solar energy
Lower energy bills
On average, potential annual savings range from £548 to £814 when installing between 6-12 panels*.
Additional savings
If your solar panels generate more electricity than you need, you may be able to sell the excess back to the National Grid.
Clean, green energy
Solar panels produce electricity without emitting harmful greenhouse gases, helping to combat climate change.
Energy independence
Shield yourself from potential price hikes and disruptions with external energy sources.
Future-proofing
By using solar energy, you're supporting the UK's goal of transitioning away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources by 2035.
