If you are sure you won't end up even more confused https://rippleenergy.com/how-it-worksJohn_S wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 2:08 pmCountrypaul wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 1:36 pmI am confused (not difficult I admit).

An example of what currently comes out of the calculator which Countrypaul linked to from previous post. A mixing up of high wind turbine capacity factor savings, coupled with the long lifetime of a solar project.
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated
5 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
What I haven't worked out is where the Ripple/Seedrs thing fits in with this. I get the financial structure of a pv farm working like the turbines with returns to the Coop depending on generation, maybe the Seedrs money is a parallel sort of share?
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I hope they sort that out for when the offer is open. There is no chance 1 kW of PV would generate that much per year in the UK.
I wouldn't call that cost 70% cheaper than a domestic install either.
I've challenged them on the generation figures. They claim they're estimated for the solar park. I hope there's a bug in their website, otherwise, someone is being lied to.

Well pointed out Nowty.
The sort of crap marketing that could take them down the pan. (never rated their marketing team, this is yet another ball dropped by them)
..oh deary deary me!

Interesting
When I open Ripple, it immediately opens my dashboard (utilising my password manager) bypassing that page with no way to go back to it without logging out.
It looks as though they have amended the calculator. Now assuming 1kwP produces 1,000kWh per year. That is a fair average. My 2.1kWP system produces an average 1,900kWh but suffers from early morning and winter shading.

But surely £96 per year over 40 years + more like £3840, unless they think the capacity will seriously drop off over time?
