I've long said that the ideal BEV needs the following: 50kWh battery. 4mi/kWh on the motorway in winter. 100kW charging. If you do 150-200miles on your first hop, then stop for 15mins every 100 miles thereafter, you can get anywhere you want to get. The car taking 15mins to charge is way more conve...

[quote=resybaby post_id=54718 time=1736966862 user_id=50 AE, as far as FIT is concerned only the unit £ rates (generation and deemed export) are fixed. The monies you earn from the payments are totally relative to the power generated by the FIT system on your roof. So, if you change (upgrade) the pa...

Looking at the maps i think they are mounted on rocks which may even be exposed? The downside seems to be the distance from civilisation but perhaps they do not bother about pylons in Ireland.

Battery fires are not new and are very serious when they happen but like any news about RE things move on. The chemistry of the latest batts is not like the old ones which could set alight in extreme conditions. The new ones now self exstinguish in a fire and one can drive nails into them as well as...

Did you know a BYD Dolphin in Australia is Aus$ 30K. (c£15K) Why do people think they need to pay double that for a car in the UK.

+ generation payment + offsetting leccy = £ 1 + /kwh tax free. :D My PV ROR is now less than 2yrs. I have to smile when i think of all discussions and calculations in 2011 on another site. So much it will never pay when in fact everybody should have been rushing to the bank and fitting as much PV as...

The whole solar thing is very cheap now. Even the biggest panels are well below £100 inc vat. You could easily do this as a DIY job for less than £10K. My concern would be is the roof fit enough to take the weight of the panels and people working. I am not fully sure why you want to fit PV, is it to...

I see why some people choose the Hybrid for edge cases but in general i struggle. Firstly the hybrid is less economical than the diesel model so unless you are religeously charging it is more expensive and perhaps even more expensive if you are! The Hybrid, with fuel, weights nearly the same as the ...

I have just worked out my kwh/kwp for the yr, something i was putting off because i new it would be bad.
My PV is now 13 yrs old and i have always achieved 1200kwh/kwp (i live on the south cost with optimum angled panels)

This yr 1072 kwh/kwp -- dreadful!

At this rate we will have global cooling.

What is it with people. Centrica a private Co says there is potential gas shortage but National Grid says there is no such thing. Media loves a good story that scares the public but more importantly sells newspapers etc, The true story is that Centrica is trying to scare the public and hence politic...
