Does anyone know if a solar installation quote should include the loss of interest incurred on the investment. Should this amount be factored into the return on investment time scale. On a large installation this makes a huge difference to the payback time.
I know this has been touched on but the Stroma e-cert software is SO basic its driving me mental!!

Just wondering if any of you had heard or had any interest in it. Personally I'm against it as I believe it is ultimately going to have a negative effect on our society (especially the Investor State Dispute Settlements part), even if it is good for (big) business. The Tories support it as do...
Afternoon.
Got a small amount of cash floating around and am looking for somewhere to invest. Anyone know of any reliable solar or wind schemes going on at the moment? Got shares in the Westmill co-op wind and solar farms a few years back, which are doing OK, but since my missus left that...

I am looking into the financials for domestic solar PV installs and wondered if anyone could help me with the following queries:
1. Whilst the FIT rates are supposedly 'locked-in' for 20 years, is it not possible that successive governments could reduce or abolish these payouts as it suits...
I am a sparky, but all I want to know is where I can read some info. on solar energy and it's pros and cons. I am not looking to instal it, I just feel a bit out of the loop with modern technology. I don't want salesman spiel, just a bit of an idea what it's value is
I thought you guys might like to see my case for investment in solar, which I just posted on an investment forum:

(in case the topic gets large, mine is the first reply to the openig post)
When the FIT rate was 43p Solar PV was a fantastic investment, with annual returns of 10-13% on your capital outlay, this is index linked to the RPI for 25 years, as it was offering such high returns, there were many investors that seized the opportunity, many large investments were made in a...

Hi everyone,
I have a customer who wants rough pricing on a potentially very large commercial system. I am thinking the best way to provide a rough estimate is just to base the (rough) cost of the job on the return on investment expected. Although i haven't installed any large systems yet so...
I have heard a rumour from a friend of a friend that big free solar (50kWish) will go ahead after the cut as there is a 30% tax rebate for Entrepreneurial Investment. For the city investment folks the new tariff will be irrelevant. How a government guaranteed return is classified as...
I know in the end it doesnt matter as the disclaimer says you might make zero but seems to be so many calculators and different companys giving different quote figures for the FIT investment figure so wondering which do YOU use personally? Or how do you work it out?
for example a £1000 per year...
I am considering having a system installed at home, but am a little confused by it all. I have had a couple of quotes, but feel a bit out of my dept, could anyone give me a bit of free and impartial advice with regards to PV? Due to size constaints I appear to be limited to a 2KwP system, using...
Hi all. I'm looking for some help with calculations. I'm new to Solar and am just starting the madness of putting together quotations.
I obviously understand the SAP calculation...straightforward stuff, but i've seen companies produce lovely looking investment returns (y1 to y25 etc) data...
