[QUOTE="Fogg, post: 8323566, member: 142725"] I've a similar setup to Chickcatcher. I bought a 150kw setup (600 x 250w panels with six inverters) for £130k 7 years ago. I just got a standard var rate bank loan. At the time the interest rate charged was something like 2.1% over base, which was nothing, and the leasing outfits seemed to operate on closer to 7%. It's generated over 1gw now... At around 140,000kwh per year, ~60% gets used on site, 40% is exported. So even without fit and export, it's saved £100k on electricity bills so far, and that's at historical affordable prices. Going forward I'd be lost without it. Still, 60% of our electricity usage is bought from the grid. Which is why I've been stripping out flouresecents and putting in LEDs this afternoon. [/QUOTE]
