The BBC has reported that UK energy prices are set to rise again this October, with a typical household paying around £35 more per year. While the increase may sound small, it adds to years of rising costs — and many families are looking for ways to take back control of their energy bills.
At UKGEI, we specialise in helping homeowners across Surrey, Hampshire, and Berkshire cut their reliance on the grid through solar panels, battery storage, and smart home energy systems.
Why Energy Bills Are Going Up
Energy costs continue to rise due to global supply issues and increased demand. Unfortunately, this leaves homeowners exposed to higher charges — especially during peak usage hours when electricity prices are at their highest.
How Solar Panels Can Help
By installing solar panels, you can:
Generate your own clean electricity.
Reduce how much power you buy from the grid.
Shield yourself from future price rises.
Every unit of solar energy you generate is one less you need to pay for at inflated rates.
Why Battery Storage is a Game-Changer
Batteries take solar savings to the next level:
Store your excess solar during the day for use in the evening.
Charge your battery on cheaper overnight tariffs and use it at peak times.
Lower your reliance on expensive grid energy, even on cloudy days.
For example, a small battery system could help households save more than the £35 annual rise in just a few months — and those savings grow year after year.
