Just come back from Tenerife and it looks like Solar Panels are being
encouraged with a 30% government grant over there.Fair dues,but are
they a prospect in our climate?
Has anyone got any unbiased opinions regarding installing Solar Panels
in UK ?
Are you talking solar pv or solar thermal? Solar pv is the most hyped
dead duck around today, while solar thermal _can_ be made to pay, but
normally doesnt due to inadequate design skill.
Solar-PV can also be made to pay - but probably not in the UK, unless
getting mains electricity or gas would cost tens of thousands.
In sunnier places, possibly.
