Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

I see tax implications being mentioned here a few times. I thought it would only be a problem if you were not consuming the amount being produced by the ripple project i.e if you bought 6999 kW and consumed 7000 then nothing is spare and it goes towards your bill. I thought the problems occur when y...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Joined the ranks at Whitelaw Brae today :D I will be watching my calendar for a long time now awaiting the turn on in the years to come. I would love you to have bought 2,372 kW of it, but I guess your sig means 2,372 Watts or do you mean you've bought enough to generate 2,372 kWh per year ? Your t...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

I shall bear that in mind as i will obviously need more data to back this up. It's been a particularly cold 3 months up here too with a lack of solar input to make matters worse. Even if I can get a supported 5KWh+ annual usage from ripple.... It's better than nothing. Would help support the winter ...

Slip of the caps lock, you all knew what it meant. :fight: We all power our house through the same measure and units.
Nobody here measures their solar, wind output or house demand in Kelvin. Being obtuse for the sake of it is quite sad :roll:

Re: Air source heat pump installation good bad or ugly

I only have the 6kw downstairs unit in for now, so have only paid half. The unit is a Panasonic. I don't have an F-gas cert nor do I have a coring piece long enough to get through the granite. The only coring piece I could find to fit my SDS drill that was over 450mm deep was nearly as much as getti...

Re: Air source heat pump installation good bad or ugly

I have gone for an air to air heat pump install as part of an overall move to dump oil and go full electric. The original aim was to do this slowly by shutting off the oil combi boilers central heating side and running water only. This was accelerated in November when a pipe blew in the wall "s...
