Benefits

 A typical system will cut your heating bills by up to 90% in the summer and up to 30% in the winter, on average this equates to approximately 50-70% reduction in your costs.  You can reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by anything from 400-750kg per year.  Modern technologies allow solar panels to make the best use of the british climate, even in cloudy/broken sunshine.  Your house value will increase, possibly covering the costs, if not more. A recent survey by MORI found people are willing to pay up to £10,000 more for a home built to high environmental standards.
