At Futurechange, we believe energy shouldn’t cost the earth — financially or environmentally. That’s why we help UK homeowners cut bills and carbon by switching to solar power and home battery storage.
But let’s be honest. For most people, the world of solar panels, feed-in tariffs, and kilowatt hours can feel like a minefield. So let’s keep it simple.
Why Go Solar?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity for your home. Add a home battery, and you can store any unused solar energy for when the sun isn’t shining — like at night or on cloudy days. That means:
> Lower energy bills
> Less reliance on the National Grid
> Protection against rising energy prices
> A more sustainable, low-carbon lifestyle
And with smart systems, it all happens automatically — no behaviour change required.
Solar + Battery: What Does It Actually Cost?
The biggest barrier for many homeowners is the upfront cost. But what if we told you you could switch to solar and battery storage with no upfront payment — and still reduce your monthly bills?
Let’s break it down with a real-world example:
Current energy bill: £150/month
🔋 Cost of solar + battery system: ~£10,000
💳 Monthly finance (10-year term): ~£105/month
🌞 New energy bill after solar install: ~£30/month
📉 Total new outgoings (energy + finance): £135/month
That’s £15/month less than you’re paying right now. And after the finance ends? You’re only paying around £30/month for energy — potentially saving over £1,400 a year.
“Most people don’t realise solar + battery can actually make your monthly costs cheaper from the start—even when financing the whole thing.”
Do I Need a Battery?
Technically, no. But it’s a game-changer.
Without one, any unused solar power you generate during the day is exported to the grid (you’ll get paid a small amount via a Smart Export Guarantee). But with a battery, you store that power and use it when electricity is most expensive — like in the evenings.
That’s how the biggest savings happen. It also gives you greater energy independence and resilience if energy prices rise or grid outages occur.
Didn’t Solar Flop in the Past?
If you’ve heard someone say solar “doesn’t work”—you’re not alone. In the early 2010s, the UK government offered generous grants to install solar panels on homes. The problem? Most systems didn’t include battery storage.
That meant energy was only generated during the day, and most of it was wasted while people were at work. Homeowners still had to rely on the grid in the evenings—when electricity is most expensive.
The result? Disappointment and a lot of underused solar panels.
Is My Home Suitable?
Most UK homes can benefit — even without a south-facing roof. At Futurechange, we work with trusted nationwide specialists who’ll assess your property and design a tailored setup.
We also advise on:
🔹 Smart meters
🔹 Tariff switching
🔹 Export earnings
🔹 EV charger integration
And if you qualify, we’ll help you access grants or funding.
Today’s Systems Are Smarter
Modern solar setups include battery storage, smart monitoring, and options to export unused energy back to the grid. You get full value from your system—day and night.
And with UK energy bills forecast to rise again in 2025, now’s the time to take control.
You’re already paying the money—why not put it into something that actually pays you back?
