I think wind power would be better £1600 (+ VAT) all in for a wind 
turbine with a roi of between 5 & 7 years. I am waiting to see if I need 
planning permission in Congleton, as they are not currently sure.
Have a look here :

Also if you meet all the criteria then you can get a grant of upto £500 
from the goverment after installation.
