Loads of upgrades, including one member plastering over 100 x big mother PV panels on a warehouse
which has taken PV generation comfortably over 1GW, plus a couple of more members within the membership of the secret list.We have “associate members” on the secret list. These are family or close friends of Camelot members who have installed a system on their property or bought into the Ripple Coop projects, and crucially the Camelot member had some significant bearing on it.
For example, someone on here persuaded their sibling to install a solar and battery system and another bought some Ripple project for their grown up children.
We now have 166 registered members and 24 associate members on this secret list, the collective keeps spreading its tentacles.
In a typical year, assuming average wind and sun conditions and projects under construction are completed, 190 Camelot members will generate 1,143 MWh of electricity onsite and 253 MWh remotely.
Onsite Generation
PV - 1,079 MWh
Wind - 62 MWh
Hydro - 2 MWh
Total - 1,143 MWh
Remote Generation via Coop's
Ripple GF - 47 MWh
Ripple KH - 156 MWh
Ripple DW - 46 MWh
Ripple WB - 44 MWh
Hydro - 4 MWh
Total - 253 MWh
Annual Generation TOTAL - 1,396 MWh (or average per member 7.35 MWh)
AND
The same 190 Camelot members have a combined 8,189 kWh of onsite Energy Storage capacity.
Home Batteries – 3,097 kWh
EV Batteries - 3,642 kWh
Hot Water Storage - 1,097 kWh
Thermal Mass Storage - 353 kWh
Energy Storage Capacity TOTAL - 8,189 kWh (or average per member 43.10 kWh)
New stats,
Out of the 166 registered members, 13 (7.8%) members have a heatpump for hot water or heating and 49 (29.5%) have at least one EV.
Keep em coming, there must be more of you out there generating, storing or have a heatpump or EV.
Publicly reply to this thread or PM me with your PV (kW installed or annual kWh), Ripple project, Co-op or other generation. Alternatively add it to your sig like many do and I’ll come across it sooner or later.
If you have a family member or friend you have coerced into installing a system, buying into a Ripple project, buying an EV, etc, I will add them as an associate member.
Other types of storage too, EVs, hotwater and thermal mass storage.
EVs - gross battery size or even EV model if you don't know.
Hot Water / thermal stores - Tank size in litres.
Storage heaters – Heat capacity (kWh) or power (kW) or even brand / model numbers.
Under floor heating - mass or volume of concrete slab.
