We all know that feeling of relief when walking in the hot sunshine and then stepping into the cool shade of a tree. 🌳☀️

Solar panels can have a similar effect on your home.

Loft insulation does a great job of keeping heat from the sun out of your living spaces, but it also means loft spaces can become very warm during prolonged sunny weather even when properly ventilated.

Adding on-roof solar panels brings an extra benefit: they create shade across parts of the roof, helping to reduce the temperature inside the loft space by up to 5°C.

So alongside generating renewable electricity and reducing energy bills, solar panels may also help keep your home a little cooler during the summer months.

Feeling hot, hot, hot! ☀️🌡️

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), in partnership with the Met Office, has issued an Amber Heat Health Alert for the South East of England from 10am on 26/05/2026 until 5pm on 28/05/2026.

A few simple ways to help keep your home cooler during the hot weather:

🏠 Keep windows and blinds closed on the sunny side of your home, and open windows on the shaded side. Adjust them as the sun moves around during the day.

🌙 Open windows overnight where it’s safe and comfortable to do so.

💧 Lay damp towels in the bath or shower — the evaporation can help cool the air.

❄️ Thinking about buying portable air conditioning? Consider a unit that both cools and heats, so you can use it all year round.

Please also keep an eye on neighbours, friends, or family members who may need a little extra support during the heat.

Did you know? Whole-house air conditioning systems are actually a type of heat pump (air-to-air heat pumps). As well as cooling your home in summer, they can provide efficient heating in winter too — and may qualify for a £2,500 Government grant available to households across the UK.
