The start of a new year always gets people thinking. Better habits, smarter choices, doing things a bit differently. For many homeowners in 2026, that includes finding ways to live more sustainably and keep energy bills under control. The big question is, where do you actually start?
That is where Berry Electrical comes in.
Why Solar Makes Sense Right Now
There really has never been a better time to consider solar panels. Thanks to the 0 percent VAT on energy saving materials, which runs until 2027, the cost of installing solar is lower than it has been for years. That makes it a realistic option for many households who may have previously ruled it out.
Add in the Smart Export Guarantee and things get even more appealing. Any electricity you generate but do not use can be sold back to the grid, helping to offset bills and make your system work harder for you. Your home quietly saving money in the background? That is a win.
It is a simple switch that can make a big difference. Less worry about energy costs, more confidence about the impact your home is having on the environment. Watt is not to like?
Based in Haslingden, Lancashire, Berry Electrical are independent solar panel installers with years of experience across the North West, including Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire and Merseyside. They also work with homeowners across the UK.
What sets them apart is their straightforward, honest approach. They take the time to understand your property and your energy needs, offering advice that makes sense, not sales talk. From the first conversation through to installation, everything is handled with care and attention.
Solar panels are not just about saving money, although that certainly helps. They are about futureproofing your home and making a positive choice for the years ahead. Small steps add up, and choosing solar is a meaningful one.
As 2026 gets underway, it might be time to look up and see what your roof could be doing for you. New year, new goals, cleaner energy. With Berry Electrical, going solar feels less complicated and a lot more achievable.
