Well its DH who is actually considering it, I think that since we live in South Wales the chances of them working are slim Hmm.

He has been given a quote for £5800 for 3kw panels to cover most of the roof that is south south east facing. It is a three bed semi with a two be extension so a fair amount of roof. The sales boy spotty teenager man suggested that, what with the saving in energy bills and feed in tariff, these would pay for themselves in 7-10 years and after that make us a small amount of money every year (about £300 ish) they are warranted for 25 years. Obviously if we got 4kw panels the cost is more but the payoff is quicker.

So am I wrong? Have you got panels and do they actually make you any money?

Thanks in advance

South west of the country with south facing roof is best but even with out the south facing roof they should be worth installing. Even in Scotland you will get a return on them especially if you are home all day and use all your electrical appliances during the day.
