[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7138292, member: 55822"] I had a 10 kw solar electric system priced at £8.7k fitted. Payments for exported electric are only 3-4p so it’s still 14 years to get paid back even with 50% self consumption. So for me that’s was a no. But my advise to you would be insulate, that’s always going to cut bills more than solar when your heating needs 2000liters of oil plus wood. first windows if not double already then skip double and go triple the green homes grant can help. Then your walls, Internally, or externally if you have no cavity. roof if not already well done may not meet new standards if done more than 20 years ago. Look at this link. [URL]https://icax.co.uk/Green_Homes_Grant.html[/URL] Take advise What will help you best cut your reliance on oil. Ground source heat pumps still get grants, but I would only do that after you see how the insulation upgrades goes. you may be happier to have an upgraded wood burner, that runs more than just hot water. And you may find that the new more efficient wood stoves can heat your home within that 4t your already using. For one a room sealed wood burning stove, that has its own air supply will cut drafts and improve room temps just from the fact it’s room sealed.
