What it means at home
An investment in electricity for the years ahead
The first year is only a starting point. Solar is a long-term decision, and REST can explain a forecast across the whole life of a proposed system for your Canterbury home.
In the daytime
Sunlight on the roof becomes electricity for the house, so the lights, the broadband and the fridge are running on your own power first.
In the evening
With a battery, daytime generation does not have to go to waste at tea time. It can be kept for later in the evening.
Once it has paid for itself
When the system has paid back, the saving carries on for as long as it keeps running. The forecast shows the costs allowed for on the way.
Behind the quote
Local roots, checkable credentials.
A company this close to home should be easy to hold to account. These are the things to check.

Solar in Canterbury
World Heritage, conservation and the grid.
Canterbury has a few local rules worth knowing before you plan a system.
A World Heritage Site and conservation areas
Canterbury's cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church form a World Heritage Site, and much of the centre is a conservation area. In those places, panels on a wall facing the road need planning permission, and listed buildings need consent. Check your address with the council.
UK Power Networks
Canterbury homes connect through UK Power Networks. The G98 or G99 connection application is made by REST on your behalf, with the timing in the operator's hands.
Terraces, Edwardian semis and coastal homes
Inland Canterbury has plenty of terraces and semis, while Whitstable and Herne Bay add exposed coastal roofs. The surveyor allows for wind and shade on each one.
