A look inside

The sample three-bed semi on gas heating, with solar and better insulation tried against it.

Results for a three-bed semi: adding solar saves £353 a year, £1,371 against £1,724 now, with where the money goes — heating, hot water, appliances, lighting, cooking and standing charges.
The answer
The What If list: the home as it is at £1,724 a year, 4 kWp of solar at £1,371 net after £97 export income, and loft and cavity insulation at £1,634, each with its saving and carbon.

Compare: the current setup against adding solar, where the difference comes from — £256 less electricity and £97 export income — and the What Ifs ranked for a budget.
Side by side
The home's details: a three-bed semi-detached house, electricity and gas, a combi gas boiler, no solar or battery yet, and cooking and appliances.
