    Good news perhaps but I’m sure I won’t see any benefit in Scotland, still thousands to add solar panels.

      Scotland has really good wind power, anyway. Between that, nuclear, and a few other renewable sources, you guys are down to 10% fossil fuel energy use. So don’t worry about solar.

      Yup. Average here in south US is 25k for a home system without battery backup.

        At the risk of getting political, you should expect that to go up under Trump. The tariff war with China during his first term kept panel prices high, and it’s going to be worse this time. And that’s not his only policy that will affect pricing.
