A spokesperson for Sussex Wildlife Trust explained how the work will save thousands of pounds, “We expect the system to generate 41,497 kWh of clean electricity every year, with an estimated saving of 8,592 kg CO2 of carbon and a financial saving of £8,904 in the first year after installation. The system should pay for itself within the first five years.”
