*Savings figures are illustrative and based on an average Stoke-on-Trent CES customer using 3,100 kWh of electricity per year and the Ofgem Midlands electricity price cap of 25.33p per kWh. Existing solar-only customers save an average of £148.58 a year. Adding a battery could increase total savings to £437.16 a year, an additional £288.58, including £240 of free electricity. Actual savings will vary depending on electricity use, solar generation and energy prices. Figures will be reviewed when the Ofgem price cap changes.
