You need to add in:
[b]. [/b]savings on what you [i]would[/i] have spent importing juice from the grid, but didn't use because you were generating your own
[b]. [/b]future price rises
The payback then starts to look much more attractive.

Edit: what he said.

OK, 900 plus reduced energy is looking better then!

Q: Does the FIT increase in line with inflation or is it fixed?

Interesting the Ikea have gone for thin film. Different technology to 99% of what is currently installed in the UK.

I installed 50 kwp of pv using thin film panels a couple of years ago - they had to on a very shallow east/west roof and were almost as effective as polycrystalline on a 35 degree south facing roof over the course of a day - better in low light (cloudy) conditions.

Notihng wrong with thin film panels IMO.

Hi,
I must admit that the price of installing pv system is still gradually falling, and that's great. I hope that people will turn to being more environment-friendly...
Oh, I read that you were talking about ....

as the TDF is currently on:
