A score of 40-50 tells you that installing a solar PV would be somewhat beneficial, but the output from the system may be limited.
Standard Bank’s head of digital and e-commerce, Andrew van der Hoven, says that only about 10% to 15% of people who used the tool have had a low score. An average score is 50-60 and means that a solar installation would be beneficial. A score between 60-70 is a good score and indicates “above-average-feasibility” for installing a solar PV.The tool is intended to help equip people with the information they need to make choices about energy in the current climate.
“We wanted to give people more awareness of what their potential could be. It has helped create awareness and understanding of solar PV, which is also one of the ways people can save money on their homes,” says Van Der Hoven. After receiving your solar score, Standard Bank gives you the option to conduct a home power analysis. If agreed, they will send you your municipal bill to get a sense of what the savings would be for you.
