Maybe the op decided to go with St James Place and negotiated a refund of some of the "commission".eskbanker said:

With good negotiating skills maybe it was enough of a refund to buy the solar panels 😳0 -

It depends. The return on solar is often flawed as the replacement of bits of the system is rarely factored in nor is the loss of return had you chosen to invest instead. it can be more marginal either way depending on the amount spent, type of install etc.MeteredOut said:
