- ✅ Annual cost: 0.45 kW × 1,440 hrs × £0.2635 = £170.75
☀️ Example 2: Extended Season Use
Usage: 10 hours daily × 240 days = 2,400 hours/year
Calculation:
- ✅ Annual cost: 0.45 kW × 2,400 hrs × £0.2635 = £284.58
🏢 Example 3: Year-Round Operation
Usage: 8 hours daily × 365 days = 2,920 hours/year
Calculation:
- ✅ Annual cost: 0.45 kW × 2,920 hrs × £0.2635 = £346.35
⚡ Daily Running Cost Reference
