    Epcs solar savings number

    I have noticed that the EPC figures for a 2.5kw system for the solar savings is extremely higher than any other method for working out the savings. Anyone else noticed this and surely this is extremely misleading? RECC figure is nearly half of this for SAVINGS alone. regards
