    Solar for Pensioners - Bought Using Loan - Is it worth it?

    Further to my recent thread: Will a Solar PV install payback sufficiently for pensioners when bought with a loan? I know without a loan the payback could be within 10 years (i.e before customer reaches age of 76). If a loan is factored in though this will push payback to sometime in their...

    How To Test The Degradation of Panels

    One of my competitors gave this advice to a potential client when asked how would he know what level a panel was working to. Apparently the customer gets himself a light meter and a thermostat then goes up onto the roof and tests each panel himself individually. Now why did I not think of...
