Payback time

What decides the payback time of your panels?

The payback time depends on the following:

1. The price of your solar panel system
2. Your annual yield
3. What you use

The more you save in a year, the sooner the panels have paid for themselves. After that you enjoy the sun entirely without a worry.

Solar panels last 25 years, so after those six years you go on saving on your energy bill for another 19.

Paying your panels back sooner

How quickly your panels pay for themselves depends among other things on what you use and on your yield. A high yield combined with modest consumption means your saving is above average and the panels pay for themselves sooner.

Once the panels are installed you cannot change the yield, but you can change what you use: by choosing efficient appliances, washing at a lower temperature, not leaving lights burning, using LED bulbs and turning the heating down a little.
