Solar panels
Just had PV Solar panels installed over the past few days, 21 panels on my roof. I never knew that watching the elec meter could be so fun ;-)
The best thing is, even though today hasnt been the sunniest, my system is pushing out just under 3KW and my elec meter is going backwards! :-) |
Re: Solar panels
Cool, you should be able to sell some back to the leccy board :)
Bet them cost a small fortune didn't they? |
Re: Solar panels

Theres a lot of these being fitted locally just lately and ive been considering this myself. Do they require any maintenance? |

For my system, over its 25 year predicted life span it should earn around £55K profit and save me a cr@p load of electricity purchase. |

Interesting to know that the Feed In guarenteed for 25years, thats good to know |
Re: Solar panels
We're thinking of going down this route as it's a heck of a saving for us given the huge lecky bills we have. Need to get in fairly soon though, as the govt are proposing changes to the feed-in tariff starting next April.
If you don't have the up-front dosh there are schemes to allow the company to bear the cost of the install and to effectively "rent your roof". You'll still save dosh :thumbsup: Trouble is, I've seen some installations that are not the best aesthetically...... |
Re: Solar panels
Can I have a link to the company you used please? We are intending to do this and would like a recommendation, rather than trolling around.
Pete ;) |
