THIS TECHNOLOGY VS PV

We compared the technology now and in 5 years against current photovoltaics (PV) options for the same project. It shows PV is currently more financially viable over the next 20 years than this technology but saves less carbon overall.

The PV comparison is based on the Whole Life carbon impacts of UK rooftop solar photovoltaics installations – studied in this report. However, revenues from selling carbon for fertilizer or refrigerant purposes as well as potential work efficiency improvement could bring this technology above the cost-neutral line and bring in revenues – making it a competitive and relevant technology.

*: no inflation (0.28 £/kWh energy price)

*Over 20 years

**Wouldn’t be able to fit this on the roof or would need to be put it offsite

***Includes civil engineering, enclosures and plant unit overall
