Switch to solar for big savings – for you and the planet

LOCAL green energy supplier, Good Energy, is encouraging people to make the switch to solar energy – to cut carbon emissions and save money. 

Good Energy, with their national headquarters in Chippenham, supports ‘local green heroes’ who want to play their part in the transition to a more sustainable future. This includes the many homes and businesses who are switching to solar energy to cut carbon emissions and costs.

“Solar power is experiencing a boom in the UK, it adds value to your home and reduces your contribution to climate change as well as your energy bills,” says Tom Parsons, Good Energy sales director. “Its role in decarbonising our energy system is absolutely crucial,

“A recent Opinion survey for us revealed that more than half of South West residents (52%) would consider installing solar panels on their roof, and almost three quarters (71%) believe they should be included in all new homes, so we can expect them to become an increasingly common sight.”

No waste and no emissions 

To satisfy this growing demand, Good Energy owns and operates a network of established installers across southern England.

“This includes Wessex ECOEnergy, which has already carved out a position as a leading installer, including for larger homes and properties with more complex requirements,” adds Tom.

“Solar panels – or photovoltaic (PV) panels, to give them their technical name – use the energy from the sun to generate electricity with no waste and no emissions. 

“The electricity can be used directly in the home, stored in a battery, or exported to the electricity grid.”

Good Energy supports over 180,000 homes and businesses that generate their own power in this way, helping customers to slash their energy costs and their impact on the environment.

Total peace  of mind 

“Choosing a solar panel system is literally a once-in-a-lifetime decision,” added Tom. “You have to consider the durability of the components to withstand the rigours of at least 20 years of British weather, so it’s important to choose quality.

“By choosing Good Energy, you can have total peace of mind in your solar panel system, because we only install components that are widely considered to be the best on the market. Our expert team will make sure the whole process is as simple and seamless as possible.

“Installers are fully MCS-certified, plus all installations are backed by the Home Insulation and Energy Systems guarantee for total reassurance.

“You’ll be able to see the solar energy you are generating, as well as how much energy you are using in real time, using an app on your smartphone or tablet – meaning you can make sure you get the best value from your home-grown energy. We can support your journey towards a cleaner and greener future.”
