Solar photovoltaic panels could lead to cheques from your electricity supplier

Paul Norris has the kind of power bill we all dream of - his electricity supplier sends him a cheque.

He generates so much electricity from the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of his three-bedroom house in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, that he not only satisfies his own needs but also exports excess supplies to the National Grid.

"The main reason I had it installed was because I was worried about climate change, but it's great to actually make some money out of it," he says.

"Most people imagine it only really works during a sunny summer's day, but it even produces a decent amount of power on a cloudy day in the middle of winter."
