The Solar Power experiment: Is it worth investing in solar power for your UK business?

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Every week we are recording a killowatt output figure, showing how much electricity the solar panel on our roof has generated. Our office is located in Wiltshire, in the South West of England. We’ve got one small solar panel installed on our roof, which heats our water.

In an effort to determine whether this investment will pay off we’re producing this live case study on our blog, which will eventually show when the savings pay for the initial investment. So stay tuned to find out what happens by subscribing to our blog (see the orange and blue links on the right).

The progress so far

This graph shows the week by week killowatt output of the solar panels.
