You have a point, but I'm not yet convinced that it would be a
cost-effective improvement for us. I suspect that most house buyers
tend to be more impressed by modern-looking kitchens than by solar
cells on the roof.

What exactly do you mean by solar cells?

Are you talking about solar water heatinig or pv panels?


I wasn't really drawing a distinction.

There are huge distinctions!

I guess that currently solar water heating is the more usual,
because it is cheaper to install.

No, it's because it's efficient in Britain, which PV can't match.

On the other hand, you can end up with overheated water in the
summer.

Can you???

What makes you say that?

Personal experience.
