Are solar panels worth investing in now as part of the energy crisis?

I’m getting quite scared about the energy impact. My dd is £250pm and it still tells me I’ll owe about £500 at the end of that term.

I’ve just upgraded my boiler (the previous one was 40+ years old!) but I’m wondering whether to invest in solar panels in a bid to lower bills. The house we’ve just moved into has a south facing garden plus it’s our forever home. but I have absolutely no idea about whether it’s worthwhile, whether it would make a difference, how long it would take to see a reduction in bills etc…

I was under the impression that it costs ££££ to do, and it takes at least a decade to see any return on investment. Is that true? In which case I’m wondering if it’s worthwhile…

For anyone who has them - have they been worth the investment and do you think it’s made a difference to your energy supply?
