Of all of the renewable energy sources open to home users, Solar Energy Panels might provide the best choice to supplying their own power and so saving money on their present power bills, but there is the question of the Solar Energy Prices to be taken into consideration first. For a standard family house a Solar Energy Panels system might cost about £12,000, which gives the home user a 2.2 kW output Solar Energy Panels system, which in turn comes to about 40% of the standard demand of power for a family house. This Solar Energy Panels system can also earn the home user some money by way of the feed-in tariff whereby any power that the Solar Energy Panels system produces can earn about £770 per year. Further, if the Solar Energy Panels system produces more electricity than the family needs, then this can be transfered to the national grid, which can earn the home user about £30 per year. Along with the savings on their standard electricity bills of about £120 per year, the Solar Energy Panels system can earn the home user about £920 per year.
For the Solar Energy Prices of about £12,000 the home user thus might need about 13 years in order to earn the equivalent from their Solar Energy Panels system. It might take longer than this if the home user needed to take out a loan in order to pay the Solar Energy Prices. From then onwards though, the Solar Energy Panels system is effectively earning the home user free power, so provided they can afford the Solar Energy Prices in the first place they can have a nice little earner.
The good things about a Solar Energy Panels system is that it is low running costs, requiring some cleaning if the Solar Energy Panels become dirty and the rain has been unable to clean them. Apart from that the home user might expect about 45 years life from their Solar Energy Panels system, surely worth the Solar Energy Prices paid initially.
