Return on investment?

The cost/ benefit consideration

At Ecolectrics, 'renewables' sits at the heart of our existence. Whilst the benefits of utilising renewables like solar power in our homes has obvious environmental benefits, for the majority of customers, the main consideration is cost. 

How long will it take to repay the installation costs?

The question that is understandably most asked. The answer involves various factors, all of which have an impact on how many months/ years it takes to repay the installation costs. Factors include:


1. Weather conditions.

2. Where you are geographically in the UK.

3. Where your solar panels are facing (directly south or otherwise?)

4. The angle of your solar panels.

5. The number of and type of solar panels. 

6. Any shading issues.


As such, it is easy to appreciate there is no clear answer. However...
