Solar PV - are they worth fitting?

[Alexphd1]

10 man days to install 30x panels, that's 3 panels a day..... I have never installed in roof pv but have moved 16x on roof panels to another roof in 1x day (but there was two of us). I reckon I could knock off another £1200 on material (like for like) without to much research so a premium of £3400 for mcs. Total price was £9800. I don't know if its worth FIT, depends on how you look at it but there is still a premium for getting it signed off.

I can give a thumbs up to the ZN Shine - I have had my 20 x 195w mono's since 2011 and they have over performed by about 30% on SAP2009.

When i told them at an Exhibition in 2015 had them with data going back to day one they were amazed and asked if they could use my home as a case study, which I agreed to.

All the data is on my dashboard http://wattson.energyhive.com/dashboard/AndyT  it goes back days, months, years - enjoy.
