Energy bills are back in the headlines. After October’s price cap change took the typical annual household bill to around £1,723, analysts are forecasting a further rise of roughly 16% in January 2027, about £276, bringing it to around £1,999. That’s a forecast, not a confirmed figure, and what you pay depends on how much energy you use. The price cap limits unit rates and standing charges; it doesn’t cap your total bill.

One way to reduce how much electricity you buy from the grid is to generate some at home. Every kilowatt-hour your solar panels produce and you use is one less kilowatt-hour to buy at the capped rate. Solar won’t cover every need, especially through darker winter months, and installation is an investment, but it can help you rely less on changing energy prices over time.

At Live Solar, we’re MCS accredited, NAPIT approved and RECC certified, and proudly British veteran-owned. Explore your options with our online design tool and straightforward digital contracts, backed by a minimum 10-year guarantee.

A little more control, whatever the headlines say. ☀️

Ever wondered what happens to the electricity your solar panels generate but your home doesn't use? It doesn't go to waste. ☀️

Under the Smart Export Guarantee, energy suppliers pay you for the renewable electricity you send back to the grid. Even in winter, when your system generates less than in summer, any surplus you don't use yourself can still earn something on your account.

A couple of things worth knowing: payments usually require a smart meter or another approved way of measuring what you export, and rates and terms vary between suppliers, so it's worth comparing offers rather than simply accepting the default from your current supplier.

Our usual advice for the darker months: use your own generation first, because every unit you consume in the home is a unit you don't have to buy from the grid. Exports are the bonus on top.

At Live Solar, we're MCS accredited, NAPIT approved and RECC certified, and proudly British veteran-owned. We can talk you through export arrangements as part of your system design, with our online design tool, straightforward digital contracts and a minimum 10-year guarantee.

Your solar panels can generate more electricity than your home uses in the middle of a sunny day. A home battery lets you store some of that surplus and use it later, such as on dark evenings, or during peak-rate hours if your tariff and battery settings support it. ☀️🔋

A quick note: a home battery is for storing electricity for later use, typically within the day, not for saving summer’s energy all the way through to winter. It can also store energy from the grid, depending on your setup.

Thinking about a battery retrofit? Interest is growing, and now is a good time to explore your options. Qualifying home battery installations are currently zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027; from 1 April 2027, the rate is scheduled to return to 5%. Eligibility depends on the installation and property.

Live Solar is MCS accredited, NAPIT approved and RECC certified, and proudly British veteran-owned. Our battery installations come with a minimum 10-year guarantee, and you can start with our online design tool and simple digital contracts.

21 all-black panels across the front and rear of the house, paired with an 8 kW hybrid inverter and two Fox batteries — putting their roof to work and giving those electricity bills a proper knock. 🔋

A great-looking installation and a pleasure to work for them.

Shorter days don’t mean solar stops working. Panels still generate electricity in winter daylight, even when it’s cloudy, though output is usually lower than in summer. A well-designed system can help offset the electricity you use at home, and shifting some appliances to daylight hours can help you use more of what you generate.

As heating and lighting needs rise, small habits can make a difference too: switch to LEDs, tackle draughts and use heating controls thoughtfully. If you have a heat pump or electric heating, solar generation can contribute to its electricity use; it won’t directly reduce gas use.

Every home is different, so system design matters. Live Solar is MCS accredited, NAPIT approved and RECC certified, and British veteran-owned. Explore your options with our online design tool and simple digital contracts, with a minimum 10-year guarantee.
