Petrol Pump Profits: Solar Energy That Pays at the Pump

Solar energy at a petrol pump? Oh, the irony—and it’s glorious. This petrol station just got a serious energy upgrade with a 100.38kW solar PV system that’s already working harder than the coffee machine during morning rush hour.

Here’s what’s pumping:

  • Efficiency? A solid 87%. This system isn’t just showing up—it’s performing.

  • First-year energy bill reduction? £35,950.28. That’s nearly triple the estimated savings of £12,904.12. Looks like someone underestimated solar’s hustle.

  • The payback period clocks in at 4 years and 6 months, which is shorter than the average wait at some petrol station car washes.

  • The best part? Future projections show annual savings of £40,000. That’s enough to buy… well, a lot of snacks from the shop.


Environmental perks? Oh yes, they’re pumping too.

  • 1,629 trees planted annually (on paper—but we’re still proud).

  • 27,063 litres of petrol not burned—yes, at a petrol station. The irony continues.

  • 30,757kg of coal avoided every year. That’s a mountain of soot never formed.

And when June rolls around, this solar setup is predicted to produce 444kWh daily—a performance peak that’s as reliable as British rain in April.
