Sorry I am not taken in by this get PV panels save bigs bucks, make money hype etc.
When the government moves the goal posts, starts removing the subsidies etc, because we cant afford to give money away these days, what do you think will happen. All these PV companies that have sprung up overnight will evaporate. All these folks with the the panels left on the roofs will have something that has little value that they cannot sell on apart from visiting the dump.
I also wonder how they can be "welded" to the mortgage deeds of the house? The contract will be with the purchaser of the panel and the PV company. If you sell the house then the next owner who has just bought the house has every right to dump these in the nearest bin. To link this directly to the house deeds will take quite a bit of legal work to re-jig the deeds and this costs bucks. These companies are not about spending good money they are about making a fast buck on the back on dodgy projections of how much the can client can supposedly earn.
Better than money in the bank is one line that is regularly mooted. How about this I spend £15K on panels and get whatever return on my "investment" or I stick the 15K in a bank account. Give it a few years when everything goes tits up in the PV world and what would you rather have your money in.....worthless flat panels on your roof or money in the bank?
Remember an old saying "if it sounds too good to be true then it usually is". Free money is in short supply these days, the only folk making any money out of this is the guy who is flogging these panels!
Now this has turned into a wee bit of a rant, and appreciate my view will not be shared by others. No doubt by folk who have these panels and "making" money, or those who are trying to be green. My question is........if it wasn't for these unrealistic subsidies who would buy them?
Now lets see how many out there have there hands up? |
