Solar PV Case Study: Yates

The Yates Family, Carnock

Jacqueline (60) and George (61) Yates of Carnock had 12 CR Smith solar panels fitted to their chalet villa on 1^st October. Now almost as soon as they get up in the morning, they check their monitor to see how much electricity they are generating. “I have got into new habits and will do the washing and put the dishwasher on as soon as I have checked that the sun is shining on Carnock,” says Jacqueline.

The couple have lived in the house over 30 years and already the panels are an integral part of their home. Jacqueline says she hardly notices them! On the other hand, George, a retired miner knows exactly how much an impact they are having. In the first two months, George estimates he has not only earned £104, he has also saved £20 off his electricity bills.

He says: “If you are lucky enough to have a few thousand pounds in the bank earning little or no interest and helping to pay for bankers’ bonuses, put it on your root in the form of solar panels. Where else can you get a government guaranteed index linked payment for 25 years and save on your electricity bills?”
