The solar panels and battery are fully paid for. It is a 6kW system (the average UK installation is 3kW) that includes a battery. At the time of installation in 2019, it was forecast to save approximately £600 per year (calculations can be provided). Since then, electricity prices have doubled, meaning the saving is now over £1,000 per year. During the summer months, we receive £60-80 per month for exporting electricity, which makes the electricity cost for the house negligible from May through September.

Full-fibre broadband is installed via Gigaclear.
