Solar PV - are they worth fitting?

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.

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.
