Do solar panels add value to these famous homes?

When selling your own home, it’s natural to want to get the best price you possibly can for it. From painting to upgrading the garden, there are lots of ways to increase value before the sale.

Government studies show that you can add as much as 14% to the value of your home by improving the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating.

One of the ways to improve your EPC is by using renewable energy sources to power your home.

To get an idea of the value solar panels can add, we’ve found five famous homes and calculated how much their value would increase if they fitted a solar system.

The Dursley family home – Privet Drive

Harry Potter’s childhood home (complete with a cupboard under the stairs) may be a modest semi-detached in the suburbs, but adding a solar system has a massive impact on its value – magic!

Value before solar panels: £475,000

With a solar system fitted: £541,500

Value increase: £66,500

Buckingham Palace – home of The Queen

With 775 rooms to provide energy for, The Palace is the perfect candidate to make the switch to renewable energy. While we don’t think the Queen is looking to sell any time soon, we think solar panels on the roof would make this home fit for royalty.

Value before solar panels: £935,000,000

With a solar system fitted: £1,065,900,000 

Value increase:£130,900,000

The Rovers Return – Coronation Street

This infamous pub may have seen many landlords in its time, but not one of them thought to switch to renewable energy. The addition of solar panels not only means added value but a more sustainable way of cooking Betty’s famous hotpot too. Cheers to that!

Value before solar panels: £323,748

With a solar system fitted: £369,072.72

Value increase: £45,324

The Cottage from ‘The Holiday’

Cosy and wholesome this place may be, but the log fire and gas cooker aren’t exactly EPC friendly! Not only would solar panels add value to this country pile, but they’d also make the place a lot more sustainable.

Value before solar panels: £650,000

With a solar system fitted: £741,000

Value increase: £91,000

Gwen and Stacey’s house – Gavin and Stacey

With the number of omelettes cooked in the kitchen, you’d think Gwen would have thought about a more environmentally-friendly option for the power in her home. The increase in value is enough for anyone to say, “Oh, What’s Occurring?” too!

Value before solar panels: £137,500

With a solar system fitted: £156,750

Value increase: £19,250

Product introduction and category

1. Product introduction:

As the "joint of the machine", the Swing Bearing is an important transmission component necessary for the machine that needs relative slewing motion between two objects and bears axial force, radial force and tilting moment at the same time; It is a mechanical component integrating supporting, rotating and fixing functions, which can greatly simplify the manufacturing, installation and maintenance of the host.

2. Classification of Swing Bearing:

In order to adapt to different use requirements, there are many structural types of Swing Bearings.
(1) The rolling elements can be divided into point contact type and line contact type according to their types;
(2) It can be divided into single-row, double-row and three-row roller types according to the structure type;
(3) It can be divided into internal toothless type and external toothless type according to the gear form.

ZW "Swing Bearing mainly produces single-row four-point contact ball Swing Bearing.

1. Introduction to single-row four-point contact ball Swing Bearing

It is mainly composed of outer ring, inner ring, ball, spacer block and sealing belt. The four-point contact between ball and arc raceway can bear radial load, axial load and tilting load at the same time. Small and medium-sized engineering machines, such as small and medium-sized cranes and excavators, hydraulic excavators, rotating machinery, large and medium-sized excavators and other engineering machinery can be selected.

2.Features of point-contact ball Swing Bearing:

(1) The nominal contact between rolling elements and raceways is point contact (in fact, it becomes surface contact after being loaded, but the contact surface is still small), and the slewing resistance is small;
(2) The manufacturing error of raceway, installation clearance, elastic deformation of rolling ring and seat frame have little influence on the contact condition, so the above points are less sensitive to the bearing capacity;
(3) The contact stress is higher than the line contact, and the shear stress formed under the surface of the raceway during movement is larger, so the dynamic bearing capacity is lower than the line contact;
(4) The raceway section is curved, so it is slightly difficult to process and grind.

3. Production strength

ZHTE HYDRAULIC has an existing rolling production line for Swing Bearings, which can produce single-row row Swing Bearings. Carefully select medium carbon alloy steel as the raw material, and produce the raw blank through the rolling production line. This process can accurately control the accuracy of the blank, change the material performance, reduce the material stress, improve the material density, greatly improve the wear resistance of the material, and extend the service life of the parts.

4. Production process

The following operations will be carried out after the inspection of the original blank is qualified:
(1) Thermal stress relief of blank
(2) ROUGH TURNING - FINISH TURNING - DRILLING - SERRATION - FINISH GRINDING
(3) Raceway quenching treatment
(4) Gear quenching treatment
(5) Product inspection
Billet inspection - tempering inspection - quenching depth inspection - crack inspection - with clearance inspection - assembled finished product inspection
(6) Install the nameplate
