Looks like North Somerset council has opened up its Solar Together program again. This is a group buying system that allows for cheaper prices. (May also be available in other council areas).

Once more someone can't do the right thing because it might affect their 'historic' appearance of their house.

In this case they've decided to do it anyway and fight them in the courts.

My gas connection is now fully disconnected. Previously the meter had been removed, but now they've cut the gas off two metres beyond the boundary of the house. It did require some detective work to find the gas pipe and a very deep hole in my driveway! All filled in now with only two broken slabs which they should replace. , and or bust!

High performance, low-cost could be commercially available within five years. The -silicon “tandem” cells have been under research for about a decade.
One group, led by Prof Stefaan De Wolf, at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, achieved 33.7% efficiency with a tandem cell in June.

By adding a layer of pervoskite to solar panels, the maximum theoretical efficiency of 29% has been broken with efficiency figures of 32.5% achieved already!

We've been on the tariff for 90 days now. This allowed us to load shift using our & to force discharge electricity when export tariffs are higher (between 4pm-7pm). We've also been taking advantage of our and our .
Last year before the PV & batteries were installed we averaged about 16kW energy usage per day. Over 90 days that would cost £540. This year same bill is £6.72. Savings of about £533.
More financial help needed to spread this tech.

We’ve got panels installed today.

The system started working in the afternoon, yet it already produced 12.9kWh and many charts for me to look at.

Russians set to steal British sunshine

There is little enough sunshine in the UK as it is. A dastardly plot by the Russians to harvest sunshine in Oxfordshire has been revealed. We say enough is enough. British sunshine is for the Brits!

In collusion with the Duke of Marlborough and the German company, Photovolt Development Partners, Russians will be harvesting sunlight.

@Sustainable2050 This has also been the experience in the US. Net metering has been a highly effective mechanism to help the deployment of , but once it is in place it is very difficult to phase it out. Similar story for production tax credits. While I feel it would be unfair to change the rules after someone has made an investment based on certain incentives being in place, it seems reasonable to say that future installations should not receive those incentives.

Our small (1000 students) college in southern Indiana would like to decrease it's carbon footprint by installing a system. So far we have not been able to develop a project that meets our trustees' requirement for return on investment. Does anyone have knowledge of how other private, not-for-profit colleges have structured projects to make them viable? I assume part of the challenge is we don't pay federal or state income taxes, so cannot take advantage of tax credits directly.

Time to live the values, and create some unique content for the Mastodon peoples! Today we are talking about using excess Solar energy production to charge an EV. It is almost too simple!

Imagine a future without oil rigs, refineries, tanker trucks and leaky buried petrol tanks! I have the equivalent of all that on my roof. Today. With no emissions. Heck I pray for another day with a "solar spill". 🤪

Energy monitor is sense.com, solar is Enphase and Q-Cells, EV is Tesla. ☮️
