Read How John Harrison Achieved Energy Independence with My Energy Care
Transforming a Barnsley Property into a Solar-Powered Haven
In an era of rising energy costs and growing environmental awareness, more Yorkshire homeowners are turning to renewable energy solutions. One such forward-thinking individual is John Harrison, owner of The Hayloft in Barnsley, who recently partnered with My Energy Care to install a comprehensive solar energy system that’s set to revolutionize his property’s energy consumption.
Why John Chose Solar Power for The Hayloft
Like many property owners across Yorkshire, John found himself increasingly concerned about escalating energy prices. “With bills continuing to rise, I needed a long-term solution that would provide stability and savings,” John explains.
His decision to invest in solar energy was motivated by several key factors:
- Substantial Cost Savings: With projected annual savings of £1,089, John saw an opportunity to significantly reduce his household expenses
- Environmental Responsibility: A desire to minimize his carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future
- Energy Independence: Reducing reliance on the national grid and gaining greater control over energy consumption
- Smart Financial Planning: Taking advantage of available incentives that enhanced the return on investment
The Perfect Solar Solution for Yorkshire Weather
After careful assessment of The Hayloft’s energy requirements and structural considerations, our My Energy Care specialists designed a custom solar system featuring:
- 14 high-efficiency 435W solar panels
- A robust 3.6kW inverter
- A powerful 5kW battery storage system

This carefully calibrated setup ensures maximum energy production even during Yorkshire’s less sunny days, with the battery system enabling John to utilize stored solar energy during evenings and cloudy periods.
Professional Installation That Exceeds Expectations
The installation process at The Hayloft demonstrated why My Energy Care has quickly become Barnsley’s trusted solar provider. Our team:
- Completed the installation efficiently within the promised timeframe
- Demonstrated exceptional expertise throughout the process
- Maintained clear communication with John at every stage
- Conducted thorough testing to ensure optimal system performance

Impressive Financial Returns on Solar Investment
The numbers speak for themselves:
- Total Investment: £8,250
- Annual Savings: £1,089
- Payback Period: Approximately 7.6 years
- Lifetime Savings (25-year system lifespan): An estimated £32,860
This represents a return on investment that few other home improvements can match, particularly as energy prices continue their upward trajectory.
Beyond Financial Benefits: A Sustainable Legacy
For John, the decision to install solar panels wasn’t purely financial. “Knowing that I’m reducing my environmental impact while also protecting myself against future energy price increases gives me tremendous peace of mind,” he shares.
The system will prevent approximately 1.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually – equivalent to planting dozens of trees each year.
