Agent’s note
The 2.5 kw solar array installed at 36 Shire Way in March 2012 is part of a 25-year government grant incentive scheme. Over the next 12 years and 10 months (as of June, 2024) the financial return from the scheme is projected to be around £24,323. This total includes Feed-in Tariff payments based on an average annual production of 2,208 KWh, calculated at a current tariff rate of 74.385p/KWh, which sums to £21,077.

Additionally, assuming 50% of the energy is self-consumed and the rest is exported, savings from using the solar power instead of drawing from the grid, given the current rate of 23.84p/KWh in the West Midlands, are estimated at £3,246. This forecast accounts for both the payments received for the energy generated and the cost savings from reduced energy purchases.
