how much electrcity will a Planet Solar PV system generate?

• An average UK household uses 3300 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year
• Based on current SAP calculations a 1 kilo watt peak (1kWp) system of installed generation capacity facing south at a tilt of 30 degrees should generate 834kWh of electricity per year
• A typical 2kWp domestic installation should generate 50% of this average household demand over a year
• The SAP calculation for a 2kwp system represents a carbon dioxide (CO2) saving of 947 kilogrammes per year.

A typical Planet Solar system

UK domestic electricity currently costs approximately 14 pence per unit, but is forecast to increase by up to 60% per unit in the next 10 years alone.  Therefore using the example below based on a 12 module system, you have the opportunity to gain an average of 8% Return On your Investment (ROI).

• Number of Solar Panels: 12
• Generated kWh p.a.: 1800 (based on SAP calculations)
• Current ROI p.a.:  7.9%
• Revenue/Cost Savings*: £995.00
• Sales Price including VAT:  £12,600.00
