Thats a new sight on my Ripple dashboard, over 4kW output from my share of GF. :shock:

The transfer of a little over 1kW to me from my late father's share of GF came through only yesterday. So the "passing on", of a Ripple project via inheritance thing works ok, just death certificate needed, no need to wait for probate and no admin fee. My brother also joins the GF club too.

If the investment is held for over 2 years its inheritance tax free as it qualifies for business tax relief.

And he held them for over 2 years.

My brothers well chuffed and he’s only had a share of GF for a couple of days.

I told him not to get used to it being like that everyday but tomorrow looks good too. :O:

Ripple project 4 is another solar farm/park.

We’re delighted to reveal that our next project will be a solar park.

After the success of Derril Water, the UK's first shared solar park, this next solar park will not only be larger but it's going to be cheaper too.

Reservations for this project will close on 20th November at noon.
3.87kWp PV
10.24kWp PV SolarEdge system
Tesla Powerwall 2
100 x 47mm Navitron tubes (still being installed!) Now likely to be removed for more PV.
MK2 PV router DHW diverter
Morso 5kW WBS
Vaillant AroTherm 10kW ASHP
Nissan Leaf

What’s the typical minimum buy in for the solar projects ?

Is it really £25 or do you have to top up the reservation once the unit cost is determined?
