Households could soon be able to borrow money for solar panels, batteries and heat pumps at lower interest rates under a new government-supported loan scheme expected to begin rolling out in the coming weeks.

    Can solar panels offset the October energy price cap rise? - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Households are facing yet another increase in energy bills this autumn, with Ofgem’s energy price cap rising by 4 per cent from 1 October. For a typical household paying by Direct Debit and using both gas and electricity, the headline figure will rise from £1,663 to £1,723 a year, a £60 increase, or about £5 a month, if those rates remain in place for a full year. For households with solar panels, that naturally raises a question: if you are already generating some of your own electricity, could

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If you have solar panels and a home battery, summer makes the relationship between the two technologies fairly straightforward. Your solar panels generate electricity during the day, the battery stores whatever you don’t use, and that stored energy can power your home once the sun goes down. Winter is different. Shorter days and weaker sunlight mean your panels generate much less electricity, often when your household is using more. That can leave a battery sitting partly empty just when electri

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Independent and Yahoo will earn a commission from purchases made via links in this article. Pricing and availability are subject to change. When the sun is shining, your solar panels could be generating much more electricity than your home needs at that moment. The question is what happens to the excess. If you have a battery, it can be stored for later. If you have an export tariff, you may be able to sell it back to the grid. But one of the simplest ways to get more value from your solar p
