Default Re: Solar panels

I still can't see how the maths stacks up. Assume £15k outlay (loss). Assume future governments will honour the generous feed in tarriffs. I'm led to believe I can recover my capital after 10 years, and then its all profit.. (sic)
However, if I invested £15k for 10 years, I always had my capital avaialable and my capital will now be worth £25k.
Assuming the panels still work after 10 years, then it still wont be generating an income as fast as the original investment.
