Re solar panels - we are getting some installed tomorrow. It will take many many years to recoup the cost of installing them, however it will significantly reduce the energy bills once they have gone in. Around the cleaniness, they were probably the cheaper makes of them instead of buying the self cleaning ones like we did, cost twice as much but we A)won't have the issue of cleaning them and B) the issue with the cheaper ones if part of the panel gets any sort of cloud cover, the entire panel shuts down. The more expensive ones only a small section will do therefore the remainder of the panel will continue to operate. As for house value? its commonly regarded as you will ADD half the cost of the panels onto the value of the house so no idea where you get this idea that they will drop the house valuation. With current electricity prices houses with panels installed will become far more desirable as long as those who choose to move leave them behind and not taking them with you which you can do.
