Janet and Robert’s story: our electricity usage halved
Janet and Robert added a 3.6KV photovoltaic system to their recently converted 1960s bungalow, near Inverness. Ecology provided mortgage finance for the project under our C-Change energy improvements discount, to enable the purchase of the solar panels.
Alongside the panels, Janet and Robert have added a multi-fuel stove, solar water heating and a south facing conservatory to maximise passive solar gain. The works have been undertaken using recycled materials wherever possible.
Our home has now achieved an A rating for Energy Efficiency, and in the first week of operation of the photovoltaic system, our electricity usage from the grid halved.
