Why Solar PV?
Generate Your Own
Clean Energy
Solar PV is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home or business. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental awareness, generating your own clean electricity has never made more sense.
A typical domestic solar PV system can save between £800–£1,400 per year on electricity bills, and with the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can earn money by selling surplus energy back to the grid. As a PAS 2030 certified contractor, all our installations meet the highest standards for energy efficiency measures.
Every installation is completed by our dedicated, full-time team. Every member of our installation team works for Helios Electrical & Solar, ensuring consistent quality and accountability on every project.
Benefits
The Benefits of Solar Energy
Protection Against Rising Bills
Energy prices have risen over 150% in the last 5 years. Solar PV locks in your energy costs by generating your own electricity — shielding you from future price hikes for 25+ years.
Increase Your Property Value
Homes with solar PV sell for an average of 4–14% more. Estate agents consistently report that buyers see solar as a valuable asset — it's an investment that pays for itself and then adds real value when you sell.
0% VAT on Solar & Battery
Solar panels and battery storage for residential properties are currently VAT-free. That means zero VAT on equipment and installation — saving you hundreds compared to the standard 20% rate.
Earn with the SEG
Export surplus energy to the grid and get paid through the Smart Export Guarantee. Typical rates of 3–15p per kWh exported — your panels earn even when you're not using the energy.
Energy Independence
Stop relying on the grid and the energy companies. Generate your own clean power, store it with a battery, and take control of your energy costs for decades to come.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
A 4kW solar system saves roughly 1.5 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of planting 60 trees annually. Clean energy that benefits your wallet and the planet.
25+ Year Lifespan
Modern solar panels last 25–30 years with minimal maintenance. Most come with 25-year performance warranties guaranteeing at least 80% output — decades of reliable, free energy.
Whole Home Backup Available
Pair solar PV with battery storage and a backup gateway for complete power independence during grid outages. Keep your lights, heating, fridge and internet running when the grid goes down.
