  10. Great read, cracking questions. Top work Fish.
  11. It's not believed they add any value to the house directly, but if there are two for sale on a street and one comes with free electricity and a paycheck then that will sell first. Assuming it's not Ewerk buying. Solar panels work well in diffuse lighting and even in northern Scotland people have been taking advantage of Fits. The panels will protect your roof and are very tough themselves, they survive golf balls fired at them at 120kmh to simulate severe hail.
  12. Well at least until you've achieved payback, but yeah this is really best for people who have no plans to move for at least 8-10 years.
  13. I've made some assumptions however the figures are underrated by at least 20% so it'll roughly balance out. Your roof is probably large enough to fit a full 4kw system, 16 panels. These would give you a payment in year 1 of around £500. This is RPI linked for 20 years so will climb, over the lifetime of the Fits you will receive around £16,500. That's an average annual payment of £825. Your savings in the first year on electricity are estimated at £230, it could be more than this as it is assumed you will use just half the power you produce. If you're smart about it and run high energy devices in serial between 10 am and 2 pm then you could do better than this figure. Assuming electricity prices continue to rise at 8.9% per annum (historical average over the last 12 years) then your savings over 25 years (this is the length of the guarantee on all panels these days) on electricity are estimated at £19,500. Of course you will continue to make electricity beyond this time. Giving you a total return over 20/25 years of about £36k. If you could get the kit fitted for around £7k, then you clear £29k or, put another way, a government backed return of about 23% on your investment. Impossible to achieve elsewhere with no risk.
