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