So for £1000 capital outlay and a further £1000 for the inverter (£2000) he
produces some 600 KwH per year at say 7p per KwH which is £42 worth of
electricity a year which is only (2000/42) 47 YEARS to just break even,
assuming no maintenance and other problems..... He will probably die
before breaking even, especially if he falls off the ladder installing it.

Is it any wonder why there is not a rush to
do this on economic grounds ?

The 7p per kWh is this years price. The price rises on their way over
the coming years could give you payback in a few months.......of
course doing a Rod Hull is slightly more likely. ;-)
