The new Energy Performance Certificate shows the impact of having the solar panels installed and results in the very pleasing score of 100. The only suggested improvement is the installation of a wind turbine (and I’m not going to bother with that).
Band A EPC, Score of 100
The estimated 3-year energy costs are only about £500 lower than for my old house (which was thoroughly average in Band D – but much smaller) but the solar PV is predicted to offset those costs almost completely. The score of 100 indicates that the house will generate as much energy as it consumes (at least for the basic services of heating, lighting and hot water) so the net cost should be zero.
