ENERGY PERFORMANCE NOTES
Our clients have made a significant investment in this technology and advise the following benefits:

The house benefits from solar and an air source heat pump (ASHP). 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 around 18p per kWh. In addition, all electricity that is exported is paid at around 12p per kWh by our electricity supplier; as a result, all solar generated electricity that is exported will generate around 30p per kWh.

The combination of the smart meter and the electricity tariff we use allows us to import electricity at around 7p per kWh, much of the time. Our use of this tariff results in the majority of the electricity that we consume costing around 7p per kWh, which is about a quarter of the standard tariff.

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 further payments due over the next few years. Both the FiTS and RHI payments increase at the CPI rate of inflation each April.

Solar generation in 2025 was 3780 kWh. In 2025, we used 8512 kWh of electricity. We estimate that our total electricity consumption (heating, EV usage and general) to be more than covered by the money generated from solar export and RHI payments.

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.
