Find out more about the savings available from solar.
To accurately project the potential savings, we only follow the guidelines set out by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
Based on an actual 30-panel installed solar system with 2x batteries. Figures as published on the HDS Solar savings projections page.
How much can I save?
We provide detailed estimates of your yearly savings, how quickly the system pays itself off, and how much it saves after that, which is your profit on the system.
Averages
An average lifetime profit projection is between £20,000 and £30,000 after it has repaid itself, on a £10,000 system.
Our largest residential system
Projected total savings of £78,000 after it has repaid itself, on an £18,000 system.
Diminishing returns
Generally the higher the spend, the larger the return, but there is a point where savings do not scale against system cost. We analyse this and work out the sweet spot.

Measure up
We come over and measure a host of things, and try to avoid pricing without all the information. At no point will you be asked for a sale here.

Calculate
We take the data back to the office and build a detailed picture of performance, repay rate, lifetime savings and cost.

Price
We arrange another visit to help you decipher all the jargon, and walk you through the graphs and data.
Calculating return on investment.
Projections take into account the size of the system, the orientation and angle of the roof, and the location of the property.
We then add your electricity usage per month, time of usage (do you work from home during the day or not), weekend usage and battery storage.
More savings?
Charging on cheap overnight rates gives access to a much cheaper rate of electricity for a set period, granting great additional savings.
Other ways to save
Electric vehicle charging and water heating are great ways to boost savings using the sun’s free electricity.
MCS accreditation
MCS provides a framework for assessing the performance of systems, and projections are a requirement. We follow its guidelines to keep them as accurate as possible.
