At Solar Essex, we believe the future of energy should be clean, secure, and in your control. With over 40% of global electricity now coming from renewable sources (as of 2024), it’s clear the world is moving forward — and solar power is leading the charge.

A Planet Under Pressure

Fossil fuels are a dwindling resource, with reserves expected to run out by 2060. But just last year, fossil-fuel-generated electricity released an estimated 14.6 billion tonnes of CO₂ — a major contributor to climate change.

Rising global temperatures are driving increased energy use, especially for cooling — which only increases fossil fuel demand. It’s a vicious cycle. The way out? Clean, renewable energy. And solar power is at the forefront.

The UK Energy Reality

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband recently pledged to deliver “clean, home-grown power that brings bills down for everyone.” But despite these promises, energy costs remain high for many in the UK — and especially here in Essex.

Why?

• The UK’s energy infrastructure is still catching up. Until it’s fully modernised, prices remain exposed to global market shocks.
• Electricity prices are set by the most expensive source in use. So even if just 1% of supply comes from costly gas, everyone pays more.

Why Solar Power Makes Sense Now

Solar is now the fastest-growing renewable electricity source globally. According to think tank Ember, global solar generation has doubled every three years since 2012 — and it’s not slowing down.

Here in the UK, the government is pushing for a fully clean power system by 2030. But getting there requires massive infrastructure investment — costs that often trickle down to households.

By installing solar panels on your Essex home today, you’re not just going green — you’re taking control, shielding yourself from rising energy prices, and future-proofing your property.

How Can I Save?

Installing a solar PV system with Solar Essex allows you to:
✅ Cut your electricity bills from day one
✅ Break even in as little as 6 years
✅ Save up to 70% off your electricity bill over the system’s lifetime
✅ Earn money by exporting surplus energy via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

Every system is custom-designed for your property — maximising both efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Take Control of Your Energy Future

Why wait for the national grid to catch up when you can act today? With energy costs still volatile and climate change accelerating, now is the perfect time to switch.

At Solar Essex, we’ve been helping homes across the county become greener, more energy-efficient, and more financially independent — all through solar power you can trust.
