Re: Photovoltaic Panels
I recently had a 10kw solar system installed along the roof of two south facing apartments. Had to pay EDP a one off 250€ for a licence to "feed in" and they indeed pay 4c per kWh. The trick is to use what you produce, saving yourself the 20c per kWh you'd otherwise pay. Between the various appliances in the house and a 7kw heat pump on the pool, I don't end up exporting much to the grid at all. This will save me a fortune in the long run.

The system was from SACL near Porches. There's 36 panels in total. Happy to PM you the guys details if you want them.

Thanks for that. I used SACL a long time ago for mintenance of my pool heater and they gave me a quotation for a solar hot water system.
