What is the best option for installing solar panels on the roof of my London home?
Answers:
Solar panels for electricity are a bit of a waste of time in this part of the country, allowing for the initial expense of the installation, the cost of maintenance and replacment of the batteries between three to five years will cost more than paying a standard supplier.
As for water, some useful gains can be had, i.e. it will take the chill off the incoming water and so reduce your base energy supply costs, but not to any great extent.
Roll on global warming when these systems will become far more viable at these lattitudes.

Its unfortunate that the Government do'esnt give us more information on solar energy. I saw on local TV that a man installed old radiators painted matt black ,put them on a balcony and provided himself with hot water by the use of a small pump.
