A grant was made from the Ownpower Energy Conservation Fund to Mrs Mandy Wilson who lives at Greenlands to co-fund the installation of a 4kW photovoltaic solar system on the roof of her home.
The installation generates clean electricity from sunlight and daylight and reduces the amount of electricity that Mandy needs to buy from the grid. She even gets paid for the export of electricity that she does not use!

Over 20 years it expected that a system of this size will save Mrs Wilson over £12,000 and save around 40 tonnes of CO2 over conventional fossil-fuel electricity generation.
Installation cost: £6,500
Expected annual saving/income: £700- 800 per annum
