Why should I install solar now?

5 reasons to install solar NOW: (1) 0% VAT confirmed until March 2027 — may revert to 5-20% after. Install now to guarantee 0%. (2) Electricity at 24.5p/kWh — high = fast payback. Every month you wait costs £50-£90 in missed savings. (3) Panel prices stabilised — no benefit to waiting for cheaper. (4) Technology is mature — 20-22% efficient, 25yr warranty, 1.3M UK homes. (5) Smart tariffs available NOW — Octopus Flux/Go multiply value. ZERO reasons to wait: prices are not falling, technology is not 'about to improve dramatically', and there is no upcoming grant. The best time was 5 years ago. Second best: today.
