We are very green with 17 large sola panels on our south facing roof. Our electric bill was cut by half and the capital investment paid back in full after 6 years. Now 8 yrs in as I post this at 11.00am with blue sky and full sun they are producing 3.86 KWH, in summer at this time of day we get well over 4 KWH and still get a sizable quartley cheque.
You were obviously lucky in getting a good feed in rate.
When I looked into it, my slate roof and 1930s construction meant the tarif available would take 20years to pay back! Now with the feed in tariffs stopped there is no incentive! It could take even longer...and I ain't got that sort of time left on the clock!
