Hutton Mews, Putney

The development at Hutton Mews

Completed in 2007 Hutton Mews, in south west London, is a six-home development incorporating C21e solar electric roof tiles.

Each home is fitted with 36 solar tiles, which generate roughly 1,500 kWh of electricity each year - more than 50% of the household’s electricity. The tiles also avoid over a tonne of carbon dioxide emissions entering the atmosphere each year.

Mrs Haines, from Hutton Mews, says: ‘When we saw the property I realised the solar tiles had great potential to not only generate free, clean electricity but add value to our home. The kids and I think they’re great.’

The C21e solar tiles are easily installed on any suitable roof as part of the standard build process and are guaranteed for 20 years but expected to last at least 50. Each system comes with a free energy meter to help homeowners monitor their energy production and increase their annual savings.
