Electricity Assumptions
MPAN number: This does not affect the price you would pay for solar power but enables you to see savings over time based on 2.7% annual inflation and 4.7% electricity price inflation, which are the averages over the last 15 years.
Price currently paid (p): This does not affect the price you would pay for solar power but enables you to see savings over time based on 2.7% annual inflation and 4.7% electricity price inflation, which are the averages over the last 15 years.
Consumption (kWh): Please enter the total number of electricity units used by the school. This allows us to estimate how much of the electricity from the solar panels will be used by the school. The more solar electricity used by the school, the lower the cost per unit. Let us know if you have more than one electricity meter as we would then recommend one system per meter.
Building: Short description or name of building this meter relates to. i.e. Main, Sports, Science

53,480 kWh kWh – short for kilo Watt hour is the typical units used to describe a quantity of energy i.e. 1kWh is enough energy to run a 1000 Watt kettle for one hour or a 10W LED light bulb for 100 hours.

Stop
462 t t – short for tonnes, is the most commonly used unit for CO2 emissions despite being hard to visualize. At normal temperature and pressure a tonne of CO2 would require about 550 sqm. i.e. you would need about 5 tonnes of CO2 to fill an Olympic pool (25m wide x 50m long x 2m deep). A typical fossil fuel power station emits about 500g of CO2 per kWh of electricity produced.
