I've had a short chat this evening with Mike, my father in law. He's against investing in solar panels because it takes far too long to get the investment back. Certainly, that is true for him at 86 but I see solar renewables as avoiding fossil fuels that are finite and limited and, all enhance the natural greenhouse effect. Why think only of putting your money where it will make the most money in the shortest possible time? Can we not think of future generations and their energy needs? Can we not think of slowing the exhaustion of non-renewable resources? Of slowing climate change. How about investing in solar for humanitarian reasons? Not for self advancement but to play one's own very small part but, essential part, in improving the prospects for humanity. Do it for others!
As you said Becky (Roseff), every single roof should have solar panels. New builds should have them on the roof pitch that is south facing. I will now make enquiries over the feasibility of E/W facing pitches having solar. Both those pitches get the sun for half the day each if they are not shaded by trees or higher buildings. Will any company do it for me? I will see.
