Rising Energy Costs
It’s very difficult to find an average energy price because there are so many different factors involved such as; your type of home, where it is, your price tariff, and your energy usage. One thing that is easy to see though, is that energy prices are rising.
We have seen a massive spike in energy prices in recent months, but don’t be fooled into thinking that means that prices weren’t already slowly rising before this. In 2012 the price of electricity per KwH was 14.5p, this rose to 16.5p in 2017, and that trend was starting to rise more steeply. The recent skyrocket in prices is down to a number factors, the end result of which was a 54% increase in household energy bills in the April 2022 price cap, but had it followed the trend it would have been around 22p, which is a higher average increase than we were previously seeing.
How Much Can Solar Save You?

Solar panels are an excellent way to reduce the cost of electricity bills. In a nutshell solar panels generate electricity by capturing the light from the sun, then converting that into the kind of electricity your home needs to power your appliances. You can then store this energy in a battery system to use when your panels aren’t generating electricity – this is how solar panels generate electricity at night.
The major benefit of using solar panels to reduce your energy bills is quite simply that it reduces the amount of electricity you need to draw from the grid. We already know that grid energy is expensive, and solar allows you to fulfil as much of the energy requirements of your home as you can before you need to use that expensive grid energy. This in turn lowers your bill.
Investing in Savings
A solar system isn’t just something that will help you today. Our solar systems are guaranteed for 25 years, giving you the peace of mind that you aren’t just looking short term, you’re making an investment in your savings.
Evergen customers have seen real world savings off their bills, and with current energy prices being so high, and the industry trend suggesting that energy bills will continue to rise, a solar and battery system is the perfect way to future proof your savings since the more the price of energy rises, the more money you save.
Not only can you lower your bill through investing in a solar and battery system, thanks to the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) you could even make money through your solar system. The SEG means that energy companies are required to buy back any excess energy that you might generate. With some suppliers offering prices from 7.5p to 10.5p per KwH of energy they buy, you could be making money for nothing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much am I set to save installing a solar system?
Here at Evergen we have seen our customers cut incredible costs off their energy bills each month. Even if you don’t save quite that much per month, the more energy prices continue to rise, the more savings you will make.
Will I still be paying for energy from the national grid?
Yes, in all likelihood, even with a solar panel and storage battery system installed you will still potentially have to use energy from the grid; however you should be paying for significantly less.
How does the storage battery work?
Our battery works by storing energy generated from your solar panels when the energy is not in use elsewhere in your home. This means you can use the stored energy during non-daylight hours, saving you more money as you are not taking it from the national grid.
