Model assumptions: 950 kWh per kWp for an unshaded south-facing reference system, adjusted by your roof selections; simplified annual self-consumption estimate. No battery degradation, standing charges, installation costs, export eligibility or half-hourly usage profile modelled. Not a substitute for a professional design.

UNDERSTANDING THE FIGURES

What affects the result?

Generation isn't the same as savings

Solar generation is measured in kWh. The financial benefit depends on how much you use at home, what you avoid buying from the grid and any eligible export payments.

Battery benefits vary

Battery storage can shift some solar electricity to later hours. Actual value depends on charging patterns, usable capacity, round-trip losses, consumption and tariffs.

Roof layout matters

Two roofs with the same panel count can generate different amounts because of direction, tilt, shading and local conditions.

Installation cost is individual

Access, scaffolding, electrical work, inverter choice, battery size and network requirements all affect a final quotation.
