How Solar PV can improve your EPC

There are many methods that improve your EPC. Some solutions earn more points, such as solar panels. A 4KW solar panel system can earn up to 15 points.

Using solar panels – a renewable energy source – is a great way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and harness nature’s energy source: sunlight.

Solar panels are a more expensive way to improve your home’s energy efficiency; however, over time, the investment pays off as your energy bills will significantly decrease.

Since solar panels increase your EPC, it adds value to your home; some experts claim they could add up to 4% to your home’s value. A higher EPC rating demonstrates that your home is easier to heat and more comfortable to live within.

Although the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme has been discontinued, it has now been replaced by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Through this scheme, you can sell any excess solar energy generated back to the grid for financial gain.

By selling your excess solar energy back to a licensed supplier, you can reduce your yearly energy bills and stay in control of how much energy your property uses. To benefit from the SEG, you will need to ensure your system is MCS certified, which we can do for you as an MCS certified installer.
