Making Money with Solar
Can You Earn From Your Solar Panels?
Imagine being able to sell your surplus energy.
Generating your own solar powered energy may mean that you make more power than you actually need to use. The fantastic news is you do not need to waste the surplus; you can store it if you wish, but you could actually earn income from the excess your panels create.
Battery storage in conjuction with solar panels can generate extra income for your home by selling the surplus energy back to the National Grid. Stored energy can be used at times when there is a greater demand for power in your home.
How Does It Work
Daylight and sunlight is free - so having paid for your solar panel installation, you can sit back and reap the rewards of your installation. Creating energy for your own use, thereby paying less to your energy provider will already be saving you money, but we can now learn of the other ways you can benefit from your solar panel energy.
During the summer months, when the days are longer, more daylight creates more solar energy for you to harness. With an often lesser need for power during these longer lighter summer days and shorter nights, we often use less energy. You will often use less lighting in your home, and also fewer electrically powered items such as heating or televisions, as the majority of us enjoy outside activities when the days are lighter and warmer, taking advantage of the good weather.
Even using a BBQ instead of your oven will see your energy needs reduce. Combine your lower power consumption with your solar panels creating an abundance of energy from the extended daylight hours, and you can easily see how this leads to a surplus.
