Solar Power Myths Busted – Why Now is the Time to Switch!

There’s a lot of talk about solar panels and battery storage, but not all of it is true. With rising energy costs and concerns about the future of our power supply, many Yorkshire homeowners are asking: “Is solar really worth it?” The short answer? Yes! But let’s bust some common myths and show why ZenGen is the team to help you make the switch.

Myth 1: Solar Panels Don’t Work in the UK Because It’s Not Always Sunny

🌧 Fact: Solar panels don’t need constant sunshine to work. They generate electricity from daylight, not heat. Even on cloudy days in Yorkshire, your panels will still produce power, helping you save on your energy bills all year round.

Myth 2: Solar is Too Expensive to Install

💷 Fact: Prices have dropped massively over the last decade, and there are financing options available to help spread the cost. Plus, with 0% VAT on solar panels and battery storage, the government is making it even easier for homeowners to invest. The savings on energy bills can quickly add up, meaning your system pays for itself over time!

Myth 3: Batteries Aren’t Worth It – You Can’t Store Enough Power

🔋 Fact: Battery technology has come a long way. A home battery system lets you store excess solar energy during the day and use it at night, reducing reliance on the National Grid. Some households even sell their extra energy back to the grid—imagine getting paid by your energy provider instead of the other way around!

Myth 4: Solar Panels Will Damage My Roof

🏡 Fact: When installed correctly by professionals (like our expert team at ZenGen), solar panels protect your roof rather than damage it. In fact, they can even help extend the lifespan of your roof by shielding it from the elements.

Myth 5: I’ll Still Have Power During a Blackout

⚡ Fact: While standard solar panel systems shut off during a power cut for safety reasons, battery storage systems can keep your essential appliances running. That means if the grid goes down, you could still have lights, internet, and even power for your fridge and heating!
