10/12/09 - Our customers install solar PV for many different reasons and regard the capital outlay in many different ways. Mr Pavitt from Stratford summed up the feelings of many after we installed a 1.8kWp system in October this year:

"The initial cost is a little scary at first, about the same as a small car - but what car could you buy that actually pays you to use it at the same time as being an investment on your property? In fact with the Feed-in Tariff starting soon, you get about a 10% return on your investment. Try getting that at a building society! Being paid to generate is a big plus."

"And then there is that warm glow you get inside when you see the generation meter ticking away and your usage meter standing still. We still get excited about it."
