I'm planning to rent out my property. Are photovoltaic panels still cost-effective? The answer is generally yes, although there may be nuances depending on the region.
It's essential to note that adding solar panels to your property can also influence the
building energy performance certificate (PEB certificate). An enhanced EPB certificate testifies to the home's energy efficiency, which can be a selling point in attracting tenants who care about the environment and their energy costs. As a result, you might consider asking for a slightly higher rent by highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of solar panels.
The main advantage of a photovoltaic system is that the tenant's electricity bill is reduced according to the amount of solar-generated electricity. This means significant savings compared to renting a property without this feature. What's more, the photovoltaic installation has a direct impact on the property's EPB certificate, which can influence its value.
