Thanks for the suggestion, good idea- I'll take a look for label tomorrow. This is partly about having "something" to show insurer, building control, future buyers (if I sell the house) etc that the matter has been properly assessed. If there's a clear label or indication that 0.785kN/m^2...

2 year paypack would be great btw! I reckon more like 8 years for me (but potentially much shorter depending on electricity prices- at the moment I have Octopus Go Faster but it's not clear how long that deal will survive..)

Hey, Sounds good! If you're only going for hot water why not get thermal panels? [Edit: the plumbing is more hassle than wiring?] I looked at the ex solar farm panels and while they would be cheaper I'm going for new panels: (a) I can only fit 8 panels (max 1.06m x 1.78m). Actually I could...

:D I'll get netting as pigeons have been a problem for neighbour (who has solar panels on same terraced house development as me- installed a long time ago with no support and no problems..).
