Funding Fortunes
For FMS Car & Truck Ltd, a vehicle repairs and maintenance business in Stafford, installing Solar and Battery storage was a no-brainer. Having installed solar at home, the Director, Richard Fraser, took the opportunity to reap the benefits for his business as well. After the initial energy assessment echoed the need of solar for his business premise, a 14.4 kWh Solar PV Array was installed on the roof.
“The Solar PV Array and Batteries has helped us save a fortune one electricity.”
With only an 8.7 year payback period (or 4.4 years once the grant is taken into consideration), FMS Car & Truck Ltd will be able to feel the financial difference in no time.
Sunny Summers Savings
The installation has been able to save the business an estimated £3,476 on their annual bills, and reduce their energy consumption by 10,864 kWh per year!
“The projected savings estimated in the report have been as expected, and we have been saving loads especially with this bout of sun we have been having this summer!”
