Should I get solar panels?

Should you get solar panels? YES — if you have a suitable roof (south/east/west facing, minimal shading). The evidence: £580-£1,100/year savings. 8-12 year payback. 100-400% ROI over 25 years. 0% VAT. Tax-free returns. Inflation protection. 25-30 year lifespan. Near-zero maintenance. Property value increase. 1.3 million UK homes already proving it works. The only question is not IF but: what SIZE system and WHEN to install. The answers: as BIG as your roof allows, and NOW (every month of delay costs £50-£90). Get 3+ MCS quotes today.
