What are the benefits of choosing Huti Energy for renewable energy solutions?
If you are looking at solar (and battery storage) in Devon, the kit matters, but the people and the process matter just as much. Here is what you actually get when you choose Huti Energy, and why it tends to make the whole thing simpler, smoother, and better value long term.
1) A proper focus on saving money, not just selling panels
Solar can cut bills dramatically, but the savings depend on getting the design right for your usage, not a one-size quote.
With Huti Energy, the aim is to size and set up your system so you use as much of your own generated electricity as possible, because that is where the biggest wins usually come from. If you add a battery, it can help you use more of your solar in the evenings and early mornings, when South Hams homes and many businesses are actually drawing the most power.
2) Local Devon knowledge (and local people installing)
Devon is not “generic UK weather”. Coastal air, exposed sites, shade from trees and valleys, and the way many local homes and businesses actually operate seasonally (holiday lets, farms, hospitality) all affect performance and design.
We understand the local climate and local demands, and you have local people fitting the system, not a distant crew you never see again. That tends to mean better site decisions, neater installs, and quicker help if you ever need support.
3) Turnkey, bespoke service from quote to aftercare
Most stress comes from projects where you are juggling multiple trades, multiple quotes, and nobody owns the full outcome.
Huti Energy is set up to provide a full turnkey service, with a personal touch from quote to installation to aftercare. We handle the moving parts, keep it clear, and tailor the solution around how you use energy day to day.
4) One team for solar, batteries, and the extra electrical work
Real-world installs often come with “while we’re here…” needs: consumer unit upgrades, isolators, cable runs, EV charger readiness, outbuilding supplies, monitoring, or tweaks to existing electrics.
Because we can also support additional electrical works, you are not left hunting for someone else to finish the job. It becomes one joined-up plan rather than a patchwork.
5) We can help with the roof as well, via Huti Space
Sometimes the best time to go solar is also the moment you realise the roof needs attention first (or you want to upgrade it at the same time).
If you need a new roof or roof works, we can coordinate that through Huti Space, then complete the solar install as a single, streamlined project. That saves time, reduces delays, and avoids the classic headache of “installer one says talk to installer two”.
6) More energy independence and peace of mind
Generating your own electricity reduces reliance on the grid and helps protect you from price swings. If you add battery storage, you can take that a step further by using more of your own power outside daylight hours.
It is not about going fully off-grid for most people. It is about having more control and a lot less bill shock.
7) Access to UK incentives and export payments (we keep it understandable)
Two big UK points to know:
0% VAT on residential solar and other qualifying energy-saving materials is in place until 31 March 2027, after which it is due to revert to 5% (based on current policy).
If you export surplus electricity back to the grid, you can be paid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), as long as you meet the criteria and sign up with a participating supplier.
There are also schemes that may help eligible households with energy improvements, depending on circumstances and location (for example, the Warm Homes: Local Grant in England).
8) Reliability: doing it properly beats doing it twice
Solar is a long-term investment, so workmanship, layout, and commissioning really matter. Choosing a team that does this day in, day out helps avoid the common problems that show up later: underperforming systems, awkward maintenance access, messy cabling, or unclear handover.
In other words, it is not just “can you fit panels”. It is “can you design, install, explain, and support a system you will still be happy with in 10 to 20 years”.
What our customers say:
“The panels look great and we’re thrilled with how much energy we’re producing.”
“They were professional, friendly and knowledgeable in every aspect of our installation.”

FAQs
1. Do solar panels work in Devon’s climate?
Yes. Devon receives good daylight throughout the year, so panels work well even on cloudy days. This applies to homes in Kingsbridge, Salcombe and across the South Hams.
2. How much can a typical Devon homeowner save with solar?
Savings vary by system size and usage, but many homes see payback in 8–12 years, depending on roof, shading and how much of their own solar energy they use.
3. Is a battery worth it for most homes?
A battery helps you use more of your own solar power, but it adds cost. It suits households that use more energy in the evenings and want greater control over when they use stored energy.
4. How long does a solar installation take?
Most homes can be installed in 1 to 2 days, whether you are in Kingsbridge, Salcombe, or elsewhere in the South Hams.
5. Do I need planning permission in Devon?
For most homes, solar panels fall under permitted development, so planning permission is not normally needed. However, rules can vary by property type and location, so we always recommend checking with your local planning authority if you are unsure.
