There is a lot of buzz about solar panels for your home at the moment. But ask yourself one question: When was the last time you actually saw a house with solar panels on the roof, or in the garden? A month ago, a year ago, NEVER!?

But considering the fact that home solar panels are an extremely eco-friendly tool. why doesn’t everybody have them? After all, they can help to reduce your energy bills by a substantial amount every year.

That’s simple, because they are so EXPENSIVE.

The typical investment required to set up a home solar system is around 8-15 thousand at the moment. But what if there was a cheaper way of doing it?

The Solar Power Home Investment

For those people that do have the financial backing to take the home solar power plunge, it is very important they understand the scale of the investment they are making. It can take 15 years until the solar system pays for itself and another 15 to see the true profit potential.

Let’s investigate the scale of the investment in detail. Even if you don’t like maths it’s worth a read…

Let’s assume the following: Roof-mounted 2.52kw home solar system, cost: 14000 Units of electricity generated per year (850kWh per kW installed): 2142kWh Income (UK Government Feed in Tariff (FiT) pays 41.3p per kWh generated: 885pa Saving (assume 70% power generated (1499kWh) used at home & standard elec. price is 8p per kWh): 120pa Income (assume 30% of power generated (643kWh) is sold back to the grid @ 3p per kWh): 19.00pa Total Annual Benefit (Income + Saving) = 1024

So it would take roughly 14 years to payback or recover your initial investment. And since solar technology has been proven to last for 30 years or more, you should have at least 15 years of pure profit.

Unfortunately we have been brought up in a world where 1 in your pocket now has a higher perceived value than 0.50 in your pocket now, but 5 in your pocket in 5 years time. Not to mention the fact that many of us just aren’t able to raise the kind of capital required with the economy the way it is.

Hardly surprising then how many of us are building our own home solar panels with DIY kits. In fact, thousands of people throughout the UK have already done just that.
