    The payment was announced. It was about double the the figure in the prospectus, IIRC.

    It's not a monthly payment, it is cash up-front.

    The rules say you can buy up to 120% of the average UK electricity consumption, without question, but you can buy more if you can prove your consumption is higher, say, if you live in an all-electric house.

    Although you can pay in 12 monthly instalments.

    Lol. No problem.

    It's also 120% of your own annual consumption, not of the UK average.

    But do be aware, while nobody knows what's coming Ripple's own forecasts show electricity prices decline sharply in about a year's time.   
    Install 28th Nov 15, 3.3kW, (11x300LG), SolarEdge, SW. W Yorks.
    Install 2: Sept 19, 600W SSE
    Solax 6.3kWh battery

    I suspect Ripple's forecast was made before WW3 broke out.
