[QUOTE="binky, post: 536825, member: 490"] that will always be a concern, unlike FiT nothing is guranteed or even index linked. However, making holes in your bills has brought solar back into being very worthwhile. When the government killed off the FiT 6 years ago, I basically shut my solar business down, the numbers were all looking at around 12+years payback to just break even. Of course the recent spike in energy prices has completely changed the economic picture, with leccy at 40-60p per kWh, I would expect a payback of between 5-8 years, perhpas less. You would have to look at your energy consumption to really work out numbers, and get clever about using what you generate during the day - [I]you will become a weather watcher[/I]! :D [/QUOTE]
