How Long Do Solar Panels Take to Pay off in Trowbridge?
The exact revenue and output of any solar panel array depends on the size, which FIT rate you qualify for, and your EPC rating. It also depends on the initial costs of installing the panels, which do vary a bit from company to company. However, a 4Kw solar panel system for a domestic installation averages at around £6,599, which means an average of 7 years to pay off when saving £854.24 per year. However, with average hours of sunshine at just under 1,600 per year, you can potentially make more than that, and pay your solar panels off sooner during very sunny years. Larger systems can take more or less time to pay off depending on their initial cost. It is important to keep in mind that the installer, the efficiency of the panels, and their exposure to the sun all affect how fast you will earn your money back.
