Energy security matters more than ever. Installing green technology at home can help reduce your exposure to energy price shocks while cutting carbon emissions.

We all know what energy price fluctuations look like and what they can mean for household bills.

Installing green technology in your home, such as a heat pump, solar panels and a battery, can make a real difference.

It can be a big decision, but the benefits are proven and long term.

A heat pump, solar panels and a battery can work well together:

Solar panels generate electricity, helping to cut the cost of running your home.
Heat pumps are highly efficient and, when powered by electricity generated from solar panels, can increase the value of every kilowatt hour you use.
A battery stores excess electricity for when you need it, typically in the evening when solar generation is lower.

With the right equipment to isolate your home from the network, you may also be able to keep essentials running during an unexpected grid blackout, such as boiling the kettle, charging your phone or keeping the lights on.

The result is a home that is less reliant on energy from the grid and less exposed to external market shocks.
