With a British Gas solar PV installation, not only could you save money by generating your own electricity, you could also benefit from the Government's Feed-in Tariff

British Gas Solar

A solar PV system uses energy from the sun to generate electricity. It doesn't need sunlight to produce electricity - only daylight, even in winter. So you could be helping to lower your bills by reducing the amount of electricity you need from your supplier.

With solar PV, not only could you save money by generating your own electricity, you could also benefit from the Government's Feed-in Tariff which will pay you for every kWh of electricity your system produces, whether you use it or not.

The costs & benefits

Our 2.3 kilowatt (kWp) solar PV systems cost from £9,999 to install and set up, and can help continue to reduce your energy usage, as well as help cut your CO2 emissions for years to come.

Notes

* The following figures are calculated using our 2.3 kWp solar PV system.

Average annual saving on your electricity bill
Generating your own electricity means you don't have to buy it from your supplier - you'd normally pay us 13.194p per kWh if we supplied your electricity1. The average customer will generate 1,785 kWh of electricity per year so if you generated 50% of your own electricity each year you'd save:
£118.76 (977.5 kWh x 12.15p)

Average annual earnings from the Feed-in Tariff
Current Government rates pay 43.3p for every kWh you generate and use. The average customer could generate 1,785 kWh of electricity per year, meaning a total income from electricity generated of:
£846.51 (1,955 kWh x 43.3p)

Average annual earnings from the National Grid
You'll also get an extra 3.1p for every kWh you generate but don't use which is fed into the National Grid. So for example, if you use 50% of the 1,785 kWh you generate, you can sell 50% (892.5 kWh) to the National Grid for an additional income of:
£30.30 (977.5 kWh x 3.1p)

Total annual earnings and savings:
£995.57 (£118.76 + £846.51 + £30.30)

25 year earnings and savings:
25 x £995.57 = £24,889.25
