The two benefits you receive are a) the feed-in tariff which covers the repayments and b) your energy bills are reduced because you’re using power from the solar system rather than buying it from the grid. The amount this saves you will depend on the rate you pay for electricity and the seasonal output of the solar PV system among other things like gradual system degradation.
