Frequently asked questions
Will a Roath 4 kWp pay back as quickly as a south-facing one?
East- or west-facing systems pay back about 1–2 years more slowly than south-facing equivalents, generating ~85–90% as much electricity. Cardiff's strong irradiance partly offsets the penalty — typical payback is 9–11 years.
