Important caveats. These figures use 2026 UK average benchmarks. Real numbers vary materially with site-specific demand profile, half-hourly self-consumption, DNO connection costs, roof condition and grant-application scoring outcomes. The free funding review models against your actual half-hourly meter data and produces a board-paper-ready financial case.
