DOES SOLAR POWER PAY FOR ITSELF? Was our OFF GRID DIY SOLAR POWER SYSTEM WORTH IT?
Last year we installed a DIY off grid solar power system, but was it worth it? With the recent talk of rising energy prices, we decided to look more closely at how long it would take our solar power system to pay for itself.
For a breakdown of our system please see:
https://kit.co/theoffgridfamily/solar-power-system-uk
Our system cost approximately £22,300
Small house average energy cost (1/2 bedrooms) - £795 average bill a year:
28 years to repay
Medium house average energy cost (3/4 bedrooms) - £1,163 average bill a year:
19 years to repay
Large house average energy cost (%+ bedrooms) - £1,639 average bill a year:
13.6 years to repay
