This video is irrelevant, £1100 is a 10 year old price

Way Over priced 11k in 2015 sounds normal Solar prices crashed Even batteries are much cheaper
Comment from : @moltitrader

11 years is a VERY poor payback Crap investment

How many kws is your system? Thanks

A plaything for the rich I have just retired and have worked all my life so we could buy and pay for our home There is no way I could afford a worthwhile solar system, let alone an EV Secondly, the two estate agents I have spoken to recommend not selling any time soon Your investment is better served if you plan not to move for 15 years

Whats the total kw of your pv install? I assume you only have 1 single string of 10 and 1 string 5? brbrI went around looking for quotes for solar panels on my house in 2023 but the quotes i were getting were stupidly priced, luckily enough as im a electrical technician I installed the system myself and saved 8 grand compared to the quotes i got plus i installed an extra battery and 4 more panel's brbrI put in 24 panels (12 each side of roof) E/W facing housebr3 52kw batteries, 75kw hybrid inverter and an iboost imersion heater controller brbrMy yield this year was 7456kwh but next year it should be more as ive finally managed to get my export sorted

I like the company Only if they let me purchase my own panels

Question : do you have to fill a tax form in due to the income you receive from selling electricity back , assuming it's more than the £1000 allowance
Comment from : @PabloTBrave

Personally living in the UK I would never contemplate having thembrThe only way I would consider, would be if I have a massive barn with a south facing roofbrCertainly wouldn’t want the ugly inefficient things all over my house

Looks like you predicted the future Nick Heard a rumour the 15p export is getting chopped in half?
Comment from : @tonyfeasby1437

will be great to compare those single north and south panels next june !
Comment from : @tonywalker7064

I run an enphase system in Australia with 33 panels arranged East, West and North Middle of winter on a sunny day I make around 45kWhs for the day It's totally worth it on those 40 Celsius summer days when inside it's nice and cool and not costing me anything
Comment from : @fishingwiththomas

Might be worth other people noting that how far you are north/south in the UK makes a significant difference I have a similar East/West array as Nick near Oxford and have generated about 25 more per panel My payback is currently about 65 years as my install was a little cheaper
Comment from : @smc812

Like EVs not every home is suitable for solar panels I do have a south-facing roof but due to its odd shape and small available area its not worth it for the number of panels I could get up there Perhaps when custom shapes are available and available cheaply, solar tiles for example I'll review it again
Comment from : @st200ol

Interesting Was it much more expensive adding the other panels afterwards vs getting them all installed at once? ie scaffold andinstallation costs I'm currently saving up to get panels East and West and battery at the same time, but kind of want it all now lol
Comment from : @andy9841

Can you confirm that you generated 2326 units over the 11 months, as this is 19 more than my 35 KWp east-west system located in central Scotland did over the same period?brThe addition of two panels rather than one makes sense, as you would have incurred broadly the same installation (mostly scaffolding) costs and north facing panels still generate a decent amount of power for a large part of the year that you can export
Comment from : @briangriffiths114

There hasn't been a FIT tariff since 2019 and in the latter years it is was so low that your probably better off with the replacement which is SEG anyway
Comment from : @MagicianMan

2:13 nice D’ream reference
Comment from : @helipeek2736

I think your estate agent is massively overestimating the increase to the value of your home Are you telling me on a £400k house 10 panels and a battery increase the value by £20k??!! If I was buying the house, I'd ask you to remove them and knock £20k off the asking price 😂
