Solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) that can be used to power your home. Any excess electricity can be stored in a battery or exported back to the grid.
Generate Your Own Clean Energy
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, allowing you to generate your own renewable energy and reduce your reliance on the grid. When combined with battery storage, you can store excess energy generated during the day to use at night, maximizing your savings and energy independence.
With various government incentives and the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can earn money by exporting excess electricity back to the grid. Bloxt Energy's expert team can help you design and install a solar and battery system tailored to your home's energy needs.
Reduce Energy Bills
Generate electricity from sunlight and significantly reduce your energy bills. With battery storage, you can use more of the solar energy you generate day and night.
Eco-Friendly Solution
Reduce your carbon footprint by generating clean, renewable energy. Solar panels produce zero emissions and help combat climate change.
Energy Independence
Become less dependent on the grid with battery storage. Store excess energy for use during peak times or, where supported, power outages, giving you greater control over your energy usage. This depends on the battery installed and whether it can operate in island mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, solar panels work effectively in the UK. While they generate more electricity in sunny weather, they still produce energy on cloudy days. Modern solar panels are highly efficient and can generate significant savings even in the UK's climate.
Battery storage allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night or during peak times. This maximizes your energy independence, reduces reliance on the grid, and can significantly increase your savings by using more of your own generated electricity.
Typically, a solar panel installation takes 1-2 days, while adding battery storage may add an additional day. The exact timeframe depends on the size of the system and complexity of your property.
In most cases, solar panels are considered permitted development and don't require planning permission. However, there are some restrictions for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or if panels protrude significantly. We can advise you on this during your consultation.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. They should be kept clean and free from debris, and an annual check is recommended to ensure optimal performance. Most systems come with monitoring software so you can track performance remotely.
Yes, through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can earn money by exporting excess electricity back to the grid. Energy suppliers offer various rates, and we can help you find the best deal for your exported energy.
Savings vary depending on your energy usage, system size, and whether you have battery storage. Typically, homeowners can reduce their electricity bills by 50-90%. Battery storage can help you use more of the electricity you generate, but these systems are not fully self-sufficient. Actual savings will depend on generation, usage, and energy costs at the time of install.
