Solar power again (Flatpack) - SecretPrepper - 1 October 2013

Seems like a new option for power generation although not sure on quality
they do seem to try and advise you and give help which is nice

I'm all for any encouragement for putting up solar panels!
A little confusing. First thing I noticed is the photo showing what are obviously polycrystaline solar panels which are widely regarded as slightly inferior to monocrystaline panels. Then they say using the more advanced black panels whilst showing alloy framed ones. No mention of MCS accreditation for FITs but their partner, Hanergy, would have to have it. But full marks for their efforts, certainly more affordable package than some energy companies out there that were/are making massive profits by cashing in on the "Green Energy" fad.

Would it really take that long to recoup the costs...the system Nix put in wasn't as expensive as this by quite a margin.
