(3) ELECTRICITY: 24.5p/kWh — 36% higher than 2021. Every kWh saved is worth more. (4) TECHNOLOGY: 400-430W panels, 10kWh batteries, smart tariffs — all mature and proven. (5) PAYBACK: 8-12 years — the shortest ever. (6) ROI: 100-400% — the highest ever. (7) TRACK RECORD: 1.3 million UK homes prove it works. (8) SMART TARIFFS: Octopus Flux/Go/Agile maximise returns.
