Once installed, solar panels require very little maintenance. They are generally installed at an angle that allows rain to run off freely, washing dirt and dust away. As long as you keep them from becoming blocked by dirt, solar panels could last for over 25 years with little loss in efficiency.  

Investing in a solar power system makes you less reliant on the National Grid for your electricity. As an energy generator, you can enjoy cheaper electricity throughout the day. And if you invest in battery storage, you could carry on using solar energy after the sun goes down. 

You’ll be contributing to a more efficient way of generating energy. Transmitting energy from power plants across extensive networks to your home inevitably results in energy loss. When your power is coming direct from your rooftop, the loss is minimised, so less energy is wasted.

Solar panels are generally a good investment for your home. Current trends in the energy market mean that a home with solar panels (if properly marketed with a focus on fuel savings and tariff payments) could command a higher price in the future than one without.
