Well, cheap is relative. When I calculated the cost vs. possible return I came to the conclusion that for our house it is just not feasible. (The roof side where I could put solar panels at all is facing north-east!

You might have mentioned before, but I don't recall seeing it. What are the ratings on those panel sets?
7kWp... identical 3.5kWp system on each roof elevation.

what price do you put on local air pollution?
Kevin's system in UK:
7 kW system rating
5,755 kWh yearly production
(5,775 kWh / yr) * (yr / 8,765 h) = 0.65887 kW yearly rate
5775 kWh / 7 kW = 825 "effective hours" per year
Projected Brian's system in UK:
5.76 kW system rating
4,752 kWh yearly production
0.65887 kW * 5.76 kW / 7 kW = 0.54216 kW yearly rate
Brian's system in Seattle area based on July:
(700 kWh / mo) * (12 mo / yr) * (yr / 8765 h) = 0.95836 kW yearly rate
700 kWh / 5.76 kW = 121 "effective hours" for July
Difficult to directly compare July to a full year, but I found it interesting to run the numbers nonetheless.
