    Solar power: Anyone have any experience?

    Is this for your home, Chris? If so, have you got at least an acre of land? If you have, I can get you solar panels for free and you would receive £2,500 per acre per annum. Subject to planning. Regards, Brian

    how to alert people to our facebook page
