With increasing energy prices and the arrival of Smart Meters there has never been a better time to go green by installing a solar PV system. Smart Meters know how much power is being used at your home at any time of the day and charge higher prices for peak time use. By producing your own electricity you can either use what you generate or export it to the grid, which reduces your energy bill and helps you save money.

‍CDS Electrical are the leading installers of Solar PV (solar photovoltaic) systems across Sussex.

Benefits of Solar PV for your Home

Reduced electricity bills

You can use the electricity your panels generate, thus reducing your utility bills. The Energy Saving Trust estimates a typical four-kWp solar panel system can knock between £90 and £240 per year off your bill (kWp stands for kilowatt peak – how the power produced by panels is measured).

Adds value to your home

According to the Ideal Home magazine, having an eco-friendly house will increase the value pf your home up to 6% and its a great feeling knowing that when the sun shines your making "free" electricity.

Get paid for exporting energy

The smart export guarantee (SEG), pays households for exporting solar energy. This is electricity that is generated, but you don't use yourself, it is then pumped back into the national energy grid. Of course, you'll also save on your bills as you'll be generating energy yourself, rather than just using power from your supplier.

Helps the environment

Installing Solar is a big step towards going 'green' as a home-owner in East and West Sussex. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that does not depend on the national grid and fossil fuels.
