Then you take the energy output and divide it by the energy input. This is your energy efficiency ratio. You can multiply it by 100 to express it as a percentage. Example: An older piece of equipment receives 500 joules of power to produce the equivalent of 100 joules of output. 100/500 = 0.2, or 20% efficiency.

Our approach to calculating Scope 3 emissions. We report according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) – the widely accepted accounting standard for greenhouse gas emissions in the industry.

This metric is particularly valuable when identifying a solar investment''s value compared to other projects during the capital budgeting process. Determined by many variable factors, similar to NPV and ROI, our proposals target an IRR between 10% and 15% which is higher than the minimum acceptable rate of return for many companies.

Power Consumption (Annual) = Power Usage (Watts) x Time (Hours) x 365 (Days) Example: A 1700 Watts Electric kettle runs for 1 hours daily. Calculate the energy consumption in Wh and kWh in one year. Annual power usage in Wh = 1700W x 1 Hours x 365 days= 620500 Wh / year. Annual power usage in kWh = 620500 Wh /1000 = 620.5 kWh / year.
