I decided against it myself, batteries when I had mine were about £6k or something, lasted 8 years, but took 7 years to pay off.. I thought what was the point.. The solar cost wasn't soo bad, £4.5k, but I can see it already making a good difference when it works, hardly much at the moment lol The UK isn't the most sunniest of places at the best of times, but I'm glad I have it :)

When I move homes, I'll put it on again :) Not surprised people there have solar at the production rates... Absolutely mental!!

This is some good stuff right here. Do we need a solar clubhouse?

I'll leave that with you Mr Hat :)
