Anyone Got Solar Panels (pv)

It's not just a question of reducing subsidies.

If and when solar panels become profitable for users, they will be taxed. Obviously.

And if they ever become highly profitable, they will be highly taxed. Also obviously.

 

Can't possibly go letting the public harvest free energy/money from the Sun. We must tax this!

 

Are you exposed to any daylight/sun where you are D? :Bag:

 

I like wind turbines. Fantastic structures. Our coast lines should be covered in them.

 

I don't have solar panels myself (I spent it all on bikes don't cha know...) which I think was the far better option....anyway...one of the managers at work had them fitted - he went right into it as well....apparently if you go for the "free" ones theyre normally shite and you apparently "sign over your roof" to the supplier of the panels so if you want to sell the house it can be a minefield....

The other thing he told me is "its all on the inverter!" - apparently the more expensive/better quality the inverter the more electricity can be harvested from the panels....

My solar panels are even further away as of 10 minutes ago when I ordered a nitron r3 shock with hpa....

 

interesting article on the Law Society site

I have solar panels on my roof, but I do live in the south of France. Better return than the bank and the annual income pays insurance for all my bikes, car and the microlight.
I was able to retire at 45, but that has nothing to do with the solar panels.

 

I think we have got that Bob, only this time you forgot to mention that it was at our expense

 

Looks old, that building. Knock the fecker down.

 

I think they are pig ugly, some new builds have ones that look like the black tiles on the roof.
I was told that without government subsidy the payback period of the panels is longer than the predicted lifespan of the panels.






This may all be bullshit.

 

Funny that I thought that by doing the dirty work for little reward, I had earned my pension!

 

What did ya do bob?

 

Sells solar panels

 

Anyone got anything to add to this thread ?
I moved house a little while ago to a fairly remote location. Currently I have an oil tank in the garden for central heating and hot water as there is no mains gas to the house. The oil price is still fairly low so its a cheap house to heat but the tank is not a thing of beauty and it is occasionally a bit stinky. I`m considering a few options including burying the tank underground, converting to Flogas also with an underground tank , or possibly solar panels. We have just under half an acre so I`d probably have the panels at ground level rather than on the roof. When I was buying the house the building society lending the money were very concerned about houses with panels on the roof as this has caused some structural problems apparently.
If anyone can suggest any other power options I`d be happy to hear and any actual experience of living with solar panels of course.

We covered our oil tank with netting and let climbing plants cover it. Looked great.

Thank you. I`d not heard of this stuff. I`ll look into it and see if it is worth pursuing.
