Why install solar panels at your home?

A solar panel for your home is the assurance of producing green electricity:

• To inject it into the network with a view to “greening” the energy consumed in France.
• For self-consume energy from renewable sources rather than endorsing a supplier who sells nuclear electricity.

The choice to produce green energy through the installation of solar panels is therefore explained by economic and environmental considerations.

For additional income

In any case, you contribute to the development of clean energies. But self-produced electricity is not only ecological, it is also economical. Using sunlight, you treat yourself to free electricity. Which helps reduce your bill!

In order to ensure additional income, initially to make your photovoltaic investment profitable. You can choose to sell all or part of the electricity self-produced by your domestic solar panels to the incumbent supplier. EDF is required to purchase electricity produced by solar panels. Otherwise, opt for self-consumption.

Solar panel for isolated house: free electricity without being connected to the network

Beyond the substantial savings to be made, photovoltaics offer size advantage on isolated site. The individual is supplied (free of charge once the investment has been made!) with electricity without being connected to the network. Many suppliers offer solar kits specifically dedicated to isolated houses.

Solar panel for house for sale: a very effective selling point

Whatever option you choose when installing a solar panel for your home, know that your investment ensures you a resale advantage. For two similar properties, the buyer will have every interest in choosing the house already equipped with photovoltaic panels.

In fact, it offers the opportunity to make significant savings on its energy bills, without even having invested the initial cost. Of course, this assumes that the panels have been properly installed by a qualified company.

For an independent house

To be autonomous, and with a view to supplying you with free electricity, initially to make your photovoltaic investment profitable. You can use your home solar panel for self-consumption.

In addition, solar panels can produce part of the energy that will be used to recharge your EV!

Can we claim total autonomy?

It is technically possible but it does not no economic interest. Indeed, to have sufficient energy in your batteries to meet the needs of the least sunny day of the year, you need many more panels and storage capacity.

However, these additional capacities, which represent an additional investment, would only be used a few days per year, making them impossible to pay off in less than 20 years.

And in the absence of sun?

At night, the panels do not produce energy; in bad weather, the production of the panels may be insufficient to cover all the needs of the house: in this case, the public network takes over. It is possible to optionally equip yourself with a solar battery. This accessory allows you to store the surplus electricity produced when solar irradiation is optimal, to restore it in the absence of sun.
