BBC Text News "East" Solar power boost for 1000 homes
 
A Norfolk housing association is investing more than £7m in
solar-powered energy for 1000 of its 4,600 homes.

Saffron Housing Trust will install PV panels on the roofs of the
properties in south Norfolk.

The association estimates tenants with an average electricity bill
could save £125 a year.

Is the "average" bill about 4mW?

Well, that's better than a politician then, they can't. Not even in
milliwatts.

Not even in Milibands. they thought they had two, but lost one on a recount.

That's the trouble with beauty contests - the judges can't accurately
estimate the milliHelens[1].

[1] One milliHelen is that pulchritude required to launch one ship.

Helen's beauty launched a thousand ships - so one ship is a milliHelen.

Payback time of 56 years.

How long do the panels last?
