BBC Text News "East" Solar power boost for 1000 homes

Apr 07, 2011 12 Replies

A Norfolk housing association is investing more than £7m in solar-powered energy for 1000 of its 4,600 homes.



Saffron Housing Trust will install PV panels on the roofs of the properties in south Norfolk.



The association estimates tenants with an average electricity bill could save £125 a year.



Is the "average" bill about 4mW?


Idon't think you measure bills in milliwatts.

Any self respecting avian will tell you inches count.

Well, that's better than a politician then, they can't. Not even in milliwatts.

Not even in Milibands. they thought they had two, but lost one on a recount.

That's the trouble with beauty contests - the judges can't accurately estimate the milliHelens[1].

[1] One milliHelen is that pulchritude required to launch one ship.

Payback time of 56 years.

How long do the panels last?

Owain

surely thats only a thousanth of the pulchritude needed for one ship or did you mean a milliship

No he's right: 'The face that launched a THOUSAND ships'.

The MicroHelen nets you a dinghy.

Helen's beauty launched a thousand ships - so one ship is a milliHelen.

Housing association trouser the FiT money.

Tenants just get some amount of free leccy in the daytime.

Don't they teach you anything these days?
