Post Solar Panels to run all grow room accessories

Hi all.

Just been doing a bit of browsing and come across a thing called "Solar PV (photovoltaic)"
It uses energy from the sun to create electricity to run appliances and lighting. PV requires only daylight, not direct sunlight to generate electricity.

One of these babys on the side of the grow room should run all my fans and pumps with no problems for years and years.

I know they are expensive at the moment, (£480 odd for a 100W unit)
but there are cheaper 40watt units for £250.
Probably even cheaper on FleaBay

Has anyone else thought or even done this already.
It is an interesting concept that a lot of wealthier growers may contemplate.

Anything that cuts the Electricity Bill has got to be good, Yes?

Cheers Guys
