I'd get a smaller mortgage if you're banking on paying it with PV profits. It's a modern gold rush and massively over-inflated. They should come down in price in 10 years or so. I'm happy to wait.
I think you're missing the point - I've worked hard for a lot of years for my cash. I chose to save instead of do other thing with my cash and now I can get very little for my savings. I get a fantastic ROI from solar much better than if I put the money in the bank and I have rental properties and as each Fit cut comes through and the prices adapt solar STILL makes sense even when I'm not getting the benefit of the free electric.
Solar is neither modern or a gold rush. It's a good environmental investment for those who chose not to fritter their cash away. We all benefit and only one of my customers has been a true green customer, ebery other one has done it for investment purposes. You only need to read FB's posts to see, from an informed customer's perspective, what a great deal solar is.
Many regular contributors on the forum have been in the solar industry for quite a while, personally I've been involved in this "modern gold rush" for almost 20 years and finally - I haven't a mortgage, my profits last year cleared it
