Could Isolated Solar Energy Panels Be Preferable To Solar Energy Panels That Have Been On-Line To The National Grid?

Even though lots of users of Solar Energy Panels may well want to take advantage of the financial benefits such as the feed-in tariff, they must have the house connected to the national grid so that they can send surplus electricity produced by the Solar Energy Panels set up. There may well be occasions where a house does not have a connection to the national grid, such as distant areas, where the domestic customer relies on oil or petrol driven generators for mains electric supply. But the home owners may want to change to Solar Energy Panels in order to save costs on fuel, which may be high in distant areas.

The Solar Energy Prices for fitting of the Solar Energy Panels can be approximately ?12,000 for a typical domestic house and the Solar Energy Prices, earned by the feed-in tariff can be approximately ?500 to ?800 per year, and of course, any electricity that the Solar Energy Panels generate is free. In reality the independent Solar Energy Panels set up would not be able to provide the Solar Energy Prices benefits. In order to recover as much of the electricity produced, a battery storage system is essential so that left over electricity can be stored for consumption when required, which would obviously, add to the Solar Energy Prices total.

While the case for independent Solar Energy Panels in distant areas may be probably worthwhile, for home owners in areas served by the national grid, a Solar Energy Panels set up may well need to be rather large in order to manufacture enough electricity to cover the needs of a household. In reality if the domestic customer wanted to also add battery storage functionality, then this would add to the Solar Energy Prices to be paid. It would take a determined individual to go for a independent Solar Energy Panels set up in a case like this, where the Solar Energy Prices to be paid may well be much more than the ?12,000, and with no feed-in tariff on offer to offset the Solar Energy Prices, it may well be many years before any benefits were realised.
