Plug-in Solar Panels After 18 Months: Was It Worth It?

☀️ Plug-in Solar Panels After 18 Months – Was It Worth It? Eighteen months ago I installed my own solar panels to reduce electricity bills and learn more about generating power at home. It was a DIY install using an imported inverter from the European market that just plugs into a standard socket. Now that I've got a year and a half of real-world data, it's time to look back at what worked, what didn't, and whether it'd be worth doing it again. Conveniently the electric regulation is changing in 2026 meaning these will become the new norm in the UK. In this video I cover: 🔋 Total energy generated 💷 Estimated savings so far 🌦️ How the system performs through different seasons ⚡ Exporting electricity back to the grid 📈 Payback period and return on investment 🌦️ Carbon payback and the sustainability question 🤔 What I would do differently if starting again today This isn't a sales pitch or a perfect-case study—just an honest look at living with a DIY solar installation for 18 months in the UK. You will have your own thoughts about the no-nos of what's been done here too. If you're considering solar panels, or simply want to understand the economics of generating your own electricity, hope this video will be of interest.
