Home Solar installations in the UK are paying off in about 6-8 years at the moment for an installation that has guarantees for 25 years (except inverter/batteries). They are more than capable of surviving the weather we see in the UK even 1 in 100 year hail storms or hurricanes.
Wind is averaging 30.2% of the yearly power production of the Uk and its growing fast. There are numerous solar arrays going up across the country beyond just the home projects which are currently running at 200k homes a year, its limited by installers not demand. The most important stat really is that 4x the current Uk power demand of Solar projects is currently held up on grid upgrades which will take us through to 2035. That alone with some battery storage will be more than enough. This transition in the Uk is happening and fast and all the economics show its because green power is cheaper than fossil fuels and nuclear power.
