By tilting Wattson the unit of measurement changes from power in watts
or KW to cost per year in £/$/€ to amount of carbon used or saved in kg
or tonnes.
The cost figure indicates how much the electricity would cost if you
left everything in the house exactly as it is for a whole year (or how
much you earn for Solar Plus users, if the sun shone 24/7 all year
round). The tariffs for energy cost and generated energy payment can be
easily updated using Holmes software (available for download at www.
wattsonsolar.com).
The carbon figure is the equivalent amount of carbon used or saved by the
electricity you use or generate. Carbon emissions calculations have been
provided by AMEE, which has used the methodology for greenhouse gas
emissions associated with the consumption of grid electricity in the United
Kingdom established by the UK Government’s Department of Environment,
Food and Rural Affairs.
At the time of printing of this manual, the CO2 emissions factor used in
wattson is 0.48152 kg/kWh.
