Important Information & Assumptions
Savings Calculator Assumptions

Electricity unit rate: 30p per kWh (based on Ofgem price cap)
Solar production: 900 kWh per kWp annually (UK average)
System sizing: 2kW (~6 panels) to 6kW (~18 panels)
Roof orientation: Assumes south-facing with minimal shading

Self-consumption without battery: 45% of solar used directly
Self-consumption with battery: 85% of solar used directly (10kWh Growatt battery)
Export rate (SEG): 5p per kWh for surplus electricity
Panel degradation: 0.5% annual reduction in output

System pricing: £833 per kW for solar panels + £550 per kWh for battery storage (e.g., 6kW + 10kWh battery = £10,498). Prices include Growatt inverter and installation.
Finance option: 12.9% APR representative, 15-year term (180 monthly payments). Example: £10,498 system = £116.71/month, total payable £21,008. Finance subject to status and credit approval.
100% bill reduction: Achievable when your solar production (kWh) equals or exceeds your consumption, combined with high self-consumption from battery storage. Actual results depend on usage patterns and timing.

1. Nature of the Information

All figures, savings estimates and illustrations provided are indicative only and are supplied for information purposes, not as a recommendation or financial advice. This information does not constitute a binding offer, contract or guarantee of performance.

2. Energy Cost & Savings Illustrations

Any references to potential savings are illustrative estimates only and are based on:

  • Ofgem electricity price cap unit rates applicable at the time of modelling (currently 30p/kWh)
  • Assumed household electricity consumption levels
  • Assumed system performance and usage behaviour

Actual savings may vary materially and depend on factors including, but not limited to, energy tariffs, future price changes, system performance, export rates, household usage patterns and weather conditions.

No representation is made that the illustrated savings will be achieved.

3. Solar PV & Battery Modelling

Illustrated outcomes for solar PV systems, with or without battery storage, are based on modelled scenarios and a defined set of assumptions. These assumptions may include:

  • Prioritisation of on-site solar generation
  • Storage of surplus generation where a battery is installed
  • Use of stored energy during higher tariff periods
  • Export of surplus electricity where applicable

Actual system performance, import/export levels and resulting energy costs will differ between households and over time.

4. Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

Any export income references are indicative only and assume participation in a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff. SEG export rates are set by energy suppliers, vary by tariff and are not fixed or guaranteed. Customers are responsible for selecting and agreeing export tariffs with their chosen supplier.

5. System Pricing

Any system pricing shown reflects the cost of the specific system configuration illustrated (including system size and components stated). Prices are not representative of average market pricing and may change based on site conditions, final design, installation requirements and supplier costs.

6. VAT Treatment

The 0% VAT rate applicable to energy-saving materials, including solar PV systems, is currently available in accordance with UK government policy and is scheduled to apply until 31 March 2027. VAT treatment is subject to change and should not be relied upon as permanent.

7. Finance & Hire Purchase Illustrations

Where finance or hire purchase illustrations are provided:

  • Figures are indicative only
  • All finance options are subject to lender approval, credit assessment and final terms
  • Illustrations do not constitute a formal credit offer

Taking finance involves a financial commitment and may cost more overall than paying upfront. Customers should ensure they understand the terms and suitability of any finance agreement before proceeding.

8. No Guarantee of Outcomes

There is no guarantee that:

  • Solar generation will fully offset electricity usage
  • Energy bills will be eliminated
  • Export income will be received at any specific rate
  • Projected savings will be achieved

Future outcomes are dependent on external factors outside the installer’s control.

9. Customer Responsibility

Customers are encouraged to:

  • Review all assumptions carefully
  • Seek independent advice where appropriate
  • Consider whether the proposed solution aligns with their financial circumstances and objectives
