the only real ongoing cost is the invertor apparently needs changing every 10 years or so.
But even 16 panels will supply all your electricity and give you money back as well.
Alas I live in a house with a pyrimidal roof and none of the dozen or so companies who all said - 'yeah no problem', over the phone, could do anything for us.
What we need are small triangular panels we can cover the whole roof in.
But nobody seems to make them :-(
Odd that a spam post initiated an interesting discussion :-)Last edited by curious aardvark; 09-10-2015 at 06:43 AM.

What we really need are slate sized solar panels that click into aluminium extrusion top and bottom giving the electrical connection through the extrusion and you are away for most of any roof.
Hmm, Stratasys will probably run off and patent that.

there was an article about 3d printed solar panels a few months back.
So should be able to get them triangular.
