Modern panels are designed to work in daylight and don't need full

They drastically reduced the sell back rate over here too! It's now
6.61p/kWh - was as high as 15 - 40p plus depending on when installed and
how much supplied.

Break even point is roughly 12 years over here for a domestic
installation.

We'd rather import Polish coal and Russian gas and burn that (even
though we have plenty of our own untapped/mined) and stick up those
noisy, inefficient, eyesore wind turbine bird killers.
