El Cid Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ikea Won’t Spend £524m Green Energy Pot In Britain. In a rare attack on government policy, the Swedish flatpack giant declared it would have to go elsewhere to finance projects, including wind farms, due to the UK’s “political context”. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ikea-renewable-energy-fund-wont-benefit-britain_uk_5878c125e4b0f3b82a375ba4?

Why don't they invest in Scotland? Not only is it windier, they have a different 'political context'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf1956 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hello there We have been thinking of having a solar battery fitted so we can store the excess electricity generated during the day to use at night we realise that at this time of year the panels wont generate much so we wont be storing any. We still have economy 7 electricity & we were told that because the night rate is very cheap we could have the system set to charge the solar battery during the night so we could use the electricity we have put into the battery at night to save us using the more expensive day time electricity, this sounds a great idea but I am not a techy in these matters & we are always very sceptical of the bumph you read & told about things as some people will tell you any load of <removed> to get you to buy. we have 12 panel 4kw system fitted. We have been meaning to get off the economy 7 system for ages but never got round to doing it but maybe it could benefit us by having it ? Any advice greatly received.

Do you want them because it earns you money, or because they reduce your carbon footprint? I have free panels( on my roof, when I am out the electricity fee produced goes to the panels owner.

I read online that may 8 panels may earn me £200 and £100 or more off my bills I am a singleton, so may bills are low anyway, £35 per month at the moment. ---------- Post added 13-07-2017 at 13:10 ---------- I have used just over a 2kwh in the last month. 277kwh units in May-June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbarnesfan Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Repair on either solar inverter or generation meter advice please. Solar panels, inverter and generation meter installed March 2011. Generated electricity not registering so don't know if it is inverter or meter failure. Electricity supplier states not their problem. Installer no longer trading , a fact which seems to be quite commonplace. Advice welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'd look at the Property Insurance policy (inc. whether it already also includes Legal Expenses Insurance as an optional extra). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
