*This price includes 12 DMEGC 450 W panels, a Duracell 3.6 kW hybrid inverter, a Duracell 5.12 kWh battery, and installation on a domestic property with single scaffolding for a 2-storey building. The estimated payback period is based on this price, full system potential, calculated for a home in Birmingham and a unit rate of 24.5p/kWh, assuming a 7.02% annual increase in the unit rate in line with EPVS guidelines. Calculations are based on installation on a south-facing roof at a 35-degree pitch, no shading, and a customer who is home most of the day. Every installation is unique and the payback period will differ based on a number of factors, including your location, roof pitch, shading, electricity price and usage. We will provide a payback estimate specific to your circumstances during your appointment.
