1. Technological Advancements Panels equipped with the latest technology tend to be more expensive. For example, monocrystalline panels are known for their high efficiency and space-saving design, but they come at a premium. Bifacial panels, designed to capture sunlight on both sides, can also be pricier but offer higher energy yield in certain installations.

A solar panel system's capacity is often measured in watts. For example, if your total daily consumption is around 1,200 watts, you will need a system that can generate at least that amount of energy per day. It's a good practice to add a buffer for cloudy days or increased power consumption.

Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with a slight decrease in efficiency after 30 years. Although the initial investment in solar panels can be significant, you could see a payback period as short as to years. Over 25 years, the average sized home could potentially save up to £15,000.

Another benefit of off-grid systems is their reliability. Many traditional electrical grids are susceptible to outages due to severe weather or technical failures. With an off-grid solar system paired with battery storage, users can maintain a steady supply of electricity, ensuring power is available even during outages. This reliability is especially crucial for individuals reliant on electricity for critical needs, such as medical devices or refrigeration.
