Mindset shift: You’re included in the solar energy revolution.

In this series of blogs, we’re exploring common concerns, questions and worries holding back many from benefitting from solar panels and battery storage.

You’re not alone. All the time, we’re helping with questions like ‘are solar panels for ‘normal’ people like me?’

Middle-income households we hear you! We get it. It’s why we’re going to great lengths to build confidence and bring the power and benefits of sustainable energy to you.

Solar electricity savings and battery storage certainly is there for the taking. For the many, not the few. You might just need a team like Brimstone Energy UK to plug you in.

Mindset Barrier 1

Money: ‘I don’t have endless disposable income.’

Homeowner, car owner, holiday-goer, with an interest in saving money and the environment… yes! But not sitting on loads of money and not ready to take a punt on panels.

This might describe something of your own thinking. It’s described the position of many customers, who are now happily saving money on their bills. While still a financial investment, sustainable electricity is more in reach than ever, particularly as you’ll still benefit from the Government-backed 0% VAT on panels. In practice, a £9000 panel and battery system will save you money on your bills from day one, before breaking even after as little as 5 years in some cases. From there on in, you could be making a profit of over £1000 a year for the rest of the 25-year lifespan.¹

Mindset Barrier 2

Fear: ‘I can’t afford to make a mistake with my house.’

For many, our house is our biggest asset and there’s a need to protect it.

We understand investment in green energy may feel like a risk, especially amidst a cost of living crisis and the economic uncertainty we’re experiencing. We understand families and households can’t afford for an investment of funds to go wrong. We understand information on solar energy has not always been clear enough to build confidence.

You’re not alone. It’s a common fear holding people back.

Though we’re convinced solar panels and batteries are an enhancement to your house… and a great investment. Both the saleability and the value of a house can be boosted by well-maintained panels and battery storage.² This is only going to increase. And let’s not forget once momentum starts, it’s hard to stop. The sustainability button has been pressed and we won’t be going back.
