Does anybody here really believe that it's cost effective to install

Water heating panels? Yes in the right circumstances. The figures
speak for themselves. However, in terms of simple payback period the
financial investment will be a long term one. The idea that anything
should have a simple payback period of five minutes (to exaggerate
for effect) is not clever.

However, simple payback period is not the only reason for doing
something. If it was few would have new kitchens installed, to take
just one example.

In other words, domestic solar power is a fashion statement, just like
a new kitchen.

If you think that it says a lot about you.

Ours can't be seen ...
