Solar Power Update

On July 1^st the top up tariff, which changes quarterly, is due to fall to 14.9p per kWh of electricity generated.  When the scheme was first introduced several years ago it generated 43p per kWh.  If you are considering installing solar panels you need to consider the time needed to recoup the up front costs and the yearly maintenance costs you also need to consider if the value of your property will be adversely effected by the view of the panels on the roof?
