We’ve made it through to the 12th December! Thanks very much to our customers – who have also been busy making cups of tea, and generally being understanding on deliveries that move, kit that doesn’t show, and tweaks in specification when the inverter of choice just was not available (only once). But we have been...
Made it! Happy customers…
Monday, December 12th, 2011Something to say at last
Sunday, November 13th, 2011We’ve all been very busy for the last 2 weeks. We’re going to be very busy for the next 4 weeks. After that? Who knows. Too much to say. Too little time, and too confused to be honest. So what’s going...
Sanyo HITs and SMA WebBox
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011Today we completed a 1.92 kWp Sanyo HIT install in Trevone, North Cornwall. The roof was a little tricky at the design level – tight angular hipped roof where we needed to use the space as best we could. We went with an 8 panel design – using Sanyo HIT high-efficiency panels and a high-efficiency...
Export Rates high – surprise surprise
Monday, July 11th, 2011Over the last few days, the press have highlighted research done by the Energy Saving Trust about how much electricity is exported in a typical system, and, consequently, how much a ‘rent-a-roof’ scheme might really make a customer. Are you getting accurate estimates from your potential PV...
“Environmental movement that is happy with capitalism”
Sunday, July 3rd, 2011An interesting debate continued in the Guardian yesterday – about the position of the Green movement at the left of politics. As a champion of the anti-capitalist movement. Melding anti-business rhetoric with caring for the environment? Not in my...
South Wales 4kWp installation goes well
Monday, June 27th, 2011Another week, another install. Our teams are still largely leading installs around the country although we will soon be involving partners more closely – and will finally hand over to partners in certain areas of the country. But for now, we are doing plenty of travelling! Read about the install further below. And last week...
City Centre Install
Monday, June 20th, 2011Many of our installs seem to be out in the country, or on the fringes of towns. But every now and again we are installing in a city centre environment. Such installs often have their own...
Not so sunny North Cornwall!
Tuesday, May 24th, 2011We completed a fun job last week at Treyarnon Bay, North Cornwall. It was a 3.995 kWp system – using very nice Schott 235 panels and the ever dependable Diehl Ako 3800S. The install was overseen by our core install team, while also integrating members of a local installer. Our install partnership programme is beginning...
Lucas vs Monbiot
Saturday, March 26th, 2011At last, the Guardian stops making life so easy for George Monbiot. Caroline Lucas from the Green Party actually makes quite a good fist of making George look foolish in their debate in today’s Guardian, billed as renewables versus...
