Solar vs. ASHP: The Big Decision Our latest development project is facing some tight budget constraints due to rising connection costs and material prices. Every decision counts, so we’re carefully weighing our options. We were quoted £11,000 for an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) to achieve an Energy Efficiency Rating of A, which would also require 3 solar panels on the roof. This setup would eliminate the need for gas. However, we realised that by installing 10 solar panels instead, we could skip the ASHP entirely. But, this would mean needing a new gas connection, though it would save us around £4,000. Is opting for more solar panels a smarter, more energy-efficient choice than going with an ASHP? What are your thoughts? #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #CostSavings #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #ConstructionDecisions

You may also need the waste water recycling system with gas. Been told it adds £1k+. Positive for an Ashp is depending on target market, it'll be benefit when you come to sell, no fear of if/when boilers will be banned.
