Carbon emissions (tCO2e) |

Solar PV panels |
= |
| Non-Domestic Buildings | 10,285 | 28 | 148,359 | = 0 tCO2e |
| Streetlighting | 886 | 2 | 12,780 | = 0 tCO2e |
| Fleet Mileage | 3,848 | 11 | 55,506 | = 0 tCO2e |
| Business Mileage | 544 | 2 | 7,847 | = 0 tCO2e |
| Total | 15,563 | 43 (21.50 MW) | 224,492 (56.12 MW) | = 0 tCO2e |
Comparators:
- Equivalent number of 500 kW wind turbines (~362 tCO2e/year | ~1,315 MWh/year)
- Equivalent number of individual 250 W solar PV panels (~0.069325 tCO2e/year | ~0.00025 MWh/year)
Renewable electricity generated by Council solar PV systems in 2018/19 = 498,000 kWh (saving 138 tCO2e)
Notes: (1) The equivalent number of wind turbines and solar PV panels is based on a 2019 CO2 factor calculation that will change year-on-year with changes in the UK emission-conversion factor for electricity. While this metric is used to help demonstrate the scale of the task, it is purely meant for illustrative purposes only as it is dependent on many external variables.
