Meet the dream team that helps your bills behave: solar, a battery and a fixed tariff.

Solar makes the electricity while the sun is up, running the fans, chilling the drinks and keeping the garden speaker going. The battery pockets whatever you do not use, so the ice lollies stay frozen and the lights stay on long after the sun has clocked off. A fixed tariff keeps your unit price sitting still for the length of your deal, so the bit you still buy from the grid stays at a price you already know.

The upshot: you use more of your own power, buy less from the grid, and there are no surprise price jumps on what is left.

A common misconception is that solar panels will keep your home powered during a power cut. Unfortunately, that's not usually the case.

The reality is that almost all grid-tied solar systems are designed to automatically shut off during a blackout. This is a vital safety measure to prevent panels from sending electricity back into the grid while utility workers are trying to fix the lines.

If you'd like access to electricity during an outage, you'll typically need a battery storage system with backup capabilities. This allows you to store energy and use it when the grid isn't available.

From 1 July 2026, the Ofgem price cap rises to £1,862 for a typical household, so getting more from your own solar has never mattered more. Here are the three setups our customers ask about most.

Solar + Battery. Your panels generate most in the middle of the day, often when the house is empty. A battery stores that free power so you can use it in the evening instead of buying from the grid at full price. The Energy Saving Trust estimates every stored unit you use later saves around 14p, so more of your sunshine stays yours.
Solar + Battery + Heat Pump. Heating is the biggest energy cost in most homes, and gas is rising faster than electricity this year. A heat pump turns one unit of electricity into three to four units of heat (Energy Saving Trust), and when you power it with your own solar and battery, you run your heating on energy you generated yourself.
Solar + Service Plan. Your system is built to perform for years, and small faults can quietly trim how much you generate. A service plan keeps it earning with regular checks, performance monitoring and priority support from your local team, protecting both your savings and your investment.

With energy costs remaining a key concern for households, there's never been a better time to explore solar energy.

Welsh homeowners can access government-backed support through schemes such as Green Homes Wales, helping to make solar panel installations more affordable through interest-free finance and retrofit funding.

Want to maximise the savings from your solar panels this summer?

To maximise the return on your solar investment, consider shifting energy-intensive activities to peak generation hours (typically between 10am and 3pm). Running appliances, charging devices and powering EVs when your system is producing the most electricity can increase self-consumption, reduce reliance on the grid and help lower overall energy costs.

☀️ Summer is peak solar season.

Solar panels generate the most electricity during longer daylight hours, making summer the ideal time to maximise your system's performance and savings.

A typical UK solar PV system can generate up to 70% of its annual electricity output between April and September, helping homeowners reduce their reliance on grid electricity when energy demand is at its highest.

By generating more of your own power, you can lower your energy bills, increase your energy independence and make better use of the sunshine while it lasts.

The sooner you install, the sooner you can start benefiting from the electricity your home generates.

Energy bills are set to rise again from 1 July 2026.

The latest Ofgem energy price cap increase means households across Wales could see higher energy costs this summer.

For a typical dual-fuel household paying by Direct Debit, annual energy costs under the cap will rise from £1,641 to £1,862; an increase of 13.5%.

It's important to remember that the price cap doesn't limit your total bill - it limits the maximum unit rates suppliers can charge. The more energy you use, the more you'll pay.

With energy prices continuing to fluctuate, many homeowners are looking at ways to reduce their reliance on grid electricity and gain greater control over their long-term energy costs.

Solar panels can help by generating electricity directly from your home, reducing the amount of energy you need to buy from your supplier and helping to protect against future price increases.

While energy prices may be outside your control, how much energy you generate yourself doesn't have to be.

A 4kW solar system costs between £6,000 and £8,000 installed. The average UK household saves £300–£650 a year on energy bills. That's a payback period of 6–10 years, and 15–20 years of near-free electricity after that.

Wales is quietly leading Britain's rooftop solar boom.

Right across the country, homeowners are generating their own electricity from their own roofs, and three counties are out in front. Powys leads Wales with more than 9,000 solar installations, with Carmarthenshire close behind on around 8,900 and Pembrokeshire on roughly 8,000. Wales now leads the UK for small-scale renewable uptake, with more than one in ten Welsh homes having a certified installation.

The roofs of rural Wales are doing something remarkable. Where does your county sit?

❌ MYTH: Many homeowners worry that installing solar panels means compromising on the appearance of their property. There's a common misconception that solar panels are bulky, intrusive, and will stand out for all the wrong reasons.

✅ FACT: Modern solar panels are designed to be far more streamlined and discreet than many people realise. With sleek, low-profile designs, they can sit neatly against your roof and complement a wide range of property styles, from traditional family homes to contemporary new builds.

As solar technology has evolved, so has its appearance. Many homeowners find that panels blend naturally into their roofline and view them as a positive feature that reflects their commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

🏡 Not only can solar help reduce your reliance on grid electricity, but it can also enhance your home's future-ready appeal.

Thinking about solar but unsure how it would look on your property? The Heatforce team is here to help.
