Return is calculated using combined bill savings and subsidy earnings. Bill savings are calculated using estimated energy usage and either the electricity price at the time of installation (3 February, 2014) or, for our heating products, the existing fuel type available to the property.
Kent homeowners, Mr and Mrs White approached EnergyMyWay looking to reduce their electricity bill and earn a return on the investment from the government’s Feed-in Tariff. The garage has a flat roof and planning restrictions meant that a Solar PV installation could not exceed 20cm in height.
EnergyMyWay installed 16 Solar World black 250W panels on the flat garage roof, attached via a MAGE ballasted flat roof system, keeping the array within the required height restrictions. Thanks to the high levels of solar irradiation in Kent, the White’s will enjoy a 14% return on their investment in Solar panels.
