VENDORS COMMENTS

We have made a significant investment in this technology and the financial benefits are substantial:

The house benefits from solar, an air source heat pump (ASHP) and a Powerwall 2 battery. The solar was installed under the FiTS scheme. Under FiTS, all electricity that is generated by solar (regardless of whether it is used or exported) is paid at 17.9p kWh. In addition, all electricity that is exported is paid at 15p kWh by our electricity supplier; as a result, all solar generated electricity that is exported will generate 32.9p kWh.

The smart meter along with the battery and the electricity tariff we use allows us to import electricity at 7p kWh and export at 15p kWh. The Electric Vehicle (EV) tariff that we are on from our electricity supplier means that the majority of the electricity that we purchase costs 7p kWh, which is about a quarter of the standard tariff.

Solar generation varies year on year, ranging between 2500 and 3400 kWh. In 2024, we exported 3088kWh and used 8538 kWh of electricity, which covered all of our heating, electricity and EV charging for Lower Trewint.

In addition to the efficiency of the ASHP, we benefit from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments for an ASHP. This pays £449 per quarter with 12 further payments due. Both the FiTS and RHI payments increase at the CPI rate of inflation each April.

The utilisation information provided above is based on our consumption of electricity for heating, general usage and EV driving and is provided as an example.
