Hi,
Just wondering if any of you installers out there are annoyed every time you see an EPC certificate and the following line comes up in the recommendations:
Solar Photovoltaics 2.5kW | Cost £9,000 - £14,000 | Typical Savings £265
It must put a lot of people off and also give ammunition to those who hear about a friend doing it and then put them off by saying it will never pay back, by those figures it would take 52 years to pay back £14,000 at £265 a year and we all know that's far from the truth!
Is the STA or BPVA doing anything to lobby whoever puts together the data on the EPCs (who is it anyway, Landmark?) We really need some up to date pricing on there and a proper analysis of the savings and Feed In Tariff payments to show people that it's more like an 8-10 year payback for a properly designed system.
