Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Having read the page again, I totally agree with you - very confusing.

I am confused (not difficult I admit). Where is this page people are referring to? I am not expecting to see any figures until the offer document is published.

If you are sure you won't end up even more confused https://rippleenergy.com/how-it-works

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.

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?

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.

They have now changed it to 1000W generates 1000kWh.

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.

They have now changed it to 1000W generates 1000kWh.

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