[quote][i]Originally posted by drunkenfool[/i] Jules, the 41.3p per kwh generated is definitely correct and is guaranteed for 25 years from April 2010. We've had the site survey and our roof is 32 degrees from horizontal and 3 degrees off due south so is basically perfect for solar, and it's big enough to have a 3.6kwp system. I understand that the technology will improve and get cheaper but the main point right now is that it's not the money saved from the energy produced that is the main benefit, but the much higher payback that is coming from the energy companies paying you 41.3p per khw produced. We should be getting the actual figures in the post in the next couple of days but it will be something like a £15k investment which will pay back about £1200 a year, tax free, and guaranteed for 25 years. One very interesting point though is that this 41.3p per kwh from the energy companies is basically being subsidised by the average bill payer if they have solar or not, so basically if you aren't one of the people with the panels receiving the Feed In Tarrif, then you are effectively paying for those people that are.
