You need to add in:
. savings on what you would have spent importing juice from the grid, but didn’t use because you were generating your own
. future price rises
The payback then starts to look much more attractive.

Edit: what he said.

OK, 900 plus reduced energy is looking better then!

Q: Does the FIT increase in line with inflation or is it fixed?

Inflation linked IFRC.

Plus I’ve planted 1.28 trees. You can’t put a price on that!

Interesting the Ikea have gone for thin film. Different technology to 99% of what is currently installed in the UK.

I installed 50 kwp of pv using thin film panels a couple of years ago – they had to on a very shallow east/west roof and were almost as effective as polycrystalline on a 35 degree south facing roof over the course of a day – better in low light (cloudy) conditions.

Notihng wrong with thin film panels IMO.

Nice to get some feedback.
