How We Helped
The roof takes 110 panels running into SolaX inverters, sized from the site’s own consumption data rather than roof space alone, so as much of the generation as possible gets used on site instead of being exported.
In the first ten weeks after switch on the system generated 10.25MWh, and 71% of that was used on site as it was produced. That figure is the one that matters: every unit used on site is a unit not bought from the grid at business rates, with network charges and levies on top.
