Should you put solar panels on the roof? It's complicated

The column of 12 three-digit numbers adds up to $2980. They rise from $173 to $376 then down to $190. That's my family's monthly electricity bills for the past year.

We also run a pellet fire for heating in winter and a gas hob for cooking, but $57 a week is still a reasonable weekly cost. Like many, we've wondered what difference solar panels on the roof could make.

There are plenty of companies wanting to sell you a package and promising savings, but what really is the truth?

I turned to a Christchurch expert on solar power, Enasolar general manager, Trevor Foster and pushed my scrap of paper and figures across the table.
