As the price of energy rockets, generating solar power and using it within your own household now offers a far bigger saving than it used to. Not only can solar panels reduce your energy bills, they can also improve your carbon footprint, too. More and more people are remortgaging their current properties releasing equity to fund home improvements in the hope that the value of their property will increase in the long term. However, remortgaging could also be an option for funding solar panels. Solar power might not only increase the value of your property, but also tick the box for homeowners looking for an energy efficient house to reduce energy bills.
