Hutton Mews
Putney
The development at Hutton Mews
Completed in 2007 Hutton Mews, in Putney, SW London, is a new six home development, each property is fitted with Solarcentury's C21e solar electric roof tiles. The 36 solar electric roof tiles, a 1.8 kWp system, will generate 1,500 kWh of electricity each year and is capable of providing more than 50% of the household's electricity. This is expected to save over a tonne of CO2 emissions each year.
The unique solar tiles are easily adapted to almost any type of roof, taking only a day to install and guaranteed for 20 years but expected to last at least 50. Feeding into the grid when electricity is not in demand, the grid supplier pays the occupier for their home generated electricity making the savings two fold.
Mrs Haines, Hutton Mews, says: 'When we saw the property, the solar tiles weren't especially used as a selling point by the developer but as soon as we saw them I realised that they had great potential to not only generate free, clean electricity but add value to our home. The kids and I think they're great.'
