Channel 5 tonight "Solar panels are they worth it"

[ProDave]

Started at 7PM, I am recording it to watch later, watch it on 5+1 or catchup.

 

It will be interesting to see if it's a well reasoned assesment of their usefulness or not.

 

Also explores if heat pumps are worth it.

Solar panels will pay for themselves

Yes let's see what the experts think.

I got around to watching it today.

 

Well it was a lot better than I expected.  Nothing I did not know, but it did seem a fairly clear explanation of what solar panels do and heat pumps as well

 

About the only thing that stood out for me is the typical MCS costs with a payback time of 10 years or more.

 

I was quite impresses by the Octopus development centre and their test houses and training system.
