The above calculations are done for a "standard" sized, south facing roof, in the Stockport Area, with a 2 kWp system, using half of the electricty within the household. Call us on 0161 437 2128 for a quote and a projection as to the amount that you could benefit by.

The above assumes that the money for the investment was available and shows that if you have money sitting on deposit at 3% or so, it would be better invested in solar PV. If you have to borrow the money, it is still the case that the money earned and saved would pay back the loan.
