South West Homeowners Could Cash In on Solar Panel Boom, Says Local Expert
By Callun Purnell, Solar Energy Specialist
As British households hit a record £31 million in solar panel earnings, South West homeowners are being urged to join the "rooftop revolution" that's transforming Britain's energy landscape.
"This unprecedented milestone proves that solar isn't just about saving money anymore – it's about earning it," says Callun Purnell of Pigeon Solar Panels.
“With the South West enjoying some of the UK's highest sunshine hours, our region is perfectly positioned to benefit from this boom."
The latest figures from Ofgem reveal a dramatic surge in solar adoption, with households participating in energy export schemes tripling to over 283,000 in the past year.
These homes collectively generated enough power to supply 88,000 typical households for a year.
"What's particularly exciting is that these panels work year-round, even during our British winters," Callun explains. “Many of our customers are surprised to learn they can start saving on energy bills immediately, regardless of the season."
The financial case for solar has never been stronger: - Average annual savings of £350-£550 on energy bills - Additional income from selling excess power back to the grid - Zero VAT on installations following recent government changes - Protection against future energy price volatility.
While summer installations often face long waiting lists, Callun notes that autumn presents an ideal opportunity for homeowners to act.
“By installing now, you'll be generating your own power before the peak winter bills arrive, and you won't face the summer installation queues."
