100 years before solar panels pay for themselves? Rubbish!
Why does anyone listen to what the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) has to say? Most of the time they talk complete bollocks utterly disconnected from the real world. Now headlines are screaming that solar panels will take 100 years to pay for themselves, with the argument being that you’re better off getting loft insulation. Of course you should do that anyway, to avoid wasting energy, but the point of solar panels is to reduce your dependency on fossil fuels that will continue to rise in price and pollute the planet. If you only install solar panels to save money, you’re dumb—because you might–might–not save significant sums, that is not the point—and you’re already rich if you can afford them, thanks to this lunatic government of regressive, out-of-touch, brain-dead truth-deniers recently cutting grants for household renewable power by a whopping and insane 83 per cent.
