1 These annual energy savings are dependent on your property type and location, roof type, slope and size. If your roof is shaded or isn't south facing, figures are likely to be lower. We based the figure on the following:
a) You have 12 (440W) solar panels and a 9.5 kWh battery installed b) You’re home all day with an annual electricity consumption of 2,700 kWh (Ofgem). You currently pay our Standard Variable Rate of 24.50p (correct at 1 October 2024) and will use 39% of what you generate c) You sign up for our SEG Install Exclusive rate (20p kWh) when you purchase solar and a battery from us, and you sell back the remaining 61% of energy generated.
You’ll get a more accurate savings estimation once we’ve surveyed your property.
