"Aston Farm in Exmoor National Park has been owned by the Halliday family for over 150 years. Using the Power Predictor, George Halliday has been able to discover that his back yard could help not just to reduce George with Power Predictor mountedhis carbon emissions, but also save him nearly £7000 every year!"

"To reduce interference and turbulence from surrounding trees and buildings, George mounted the Power Predictor in a local field using his own, handmade, 10 metre mast. (For those of you not quite as ambitious with the DIY as George, a range of masts for the Power Predictor are available.) Having recorded a month's data and uploaded it with 'no problems', George viewed his power report to reveal his energy saving potential. "

"George also hopes to sell his surplus electricity back to the grid, making his yearly cost savings ever greater!"
