This graph represents the property's energy usage.

We have measured the condensing boiler gas consumption and the solar panel energy contribution then calculated the cost to run the boiler and the equivalent cost saving from the solar.

Figures based on the energy supplier charging a rate of 3.9p/kWh

Annual savings Savings are calculated by comparing the cost of energy to run a G rated gas boiler to the cost to run an A rated condensing gas boiler plus free energy from the solar panels. The carbon emissions of the boilers are directly related to their efficiency and the amount of energy each appliance uses.

SAP ratings The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating ('A' being the highest) the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be. The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home's impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The higher the rating ('A' being the highest) the less impact it has on the environment.	SAP energy efficiency rating	SAP environmental impact rating
