Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Is the investment that worthwhile, with a saving of £300 ish a year

I’m genuinely interested but SWMBO doesn’t see the investment deal like the original FIT deal.

Lets face it nothing will be as good as the original FITs !

So its a pointless exercise trying to compare with it, maybe compare it to the less than 1% in a cash ISA or the NS&I Green Savings bonds of 1.3% which are evaporating your lump sum with inflation.

The main advantage which you wont get anywhere else, is it goes a long way to fix your energy bills for the next 25 years or more. Energy bills go up, your savings go up, energy bills go down your savings go down. And for most people the returns are tax free.

Depends on how much the OP invests to get that £300.
I will see a 14% return in year 1 alone . I have read various snippets online regarding roi and people not thinking it's enough. Yet no one presents the killer investment that beats 14% Funny that....
I echo Nowty regarding inflation and would like to add that's its not all monetary or at least it shouldn't be. In saying that 14%....

I'm wondering about putting some more into WT2 as I understand it's based on usage and not grid import.

Ripple have confirmed it is net of local generation, i.e. it is grid import.

But no matter how low of a user you are, as long as you buy 6999 kWh worth or less no evidence is needed.
Example, my father has circa 300% of his usage in WT1.

I saw a post on ripples facebook that said the opposite yesterday!!

[nowty]

The ripple output for today looks a little more realistic at 55 kWh for me as opposed to the previous forecast of 72kW but still might make the magic combined solar and wind of 100+ kWh for the first time.

I read this as being what you use not import.

I know you can read into that what you like, but it has been on several occasions confirmed with actual examples given that it is your electricity import from your supplier. And I think it was even confirmed again recently from the WT2 webinar, I'll try and find the actual bit.

However ironically there is nothing to stop someone who does not have solar to buy all their watts based on their current leccy bill, then after install solar and your in the same situation.

Does everything have to be monetary profit !? ..that's a bonus, not the reason for our capital.
& We don't have space for a garden turbine that would doubtless cost more to buy, fit, maintain if we had.

Ffs.
That's a sh1te mindset to immerse oneself in.

That's also how inertia works as to clean up the environment or not works with the ongoing catastrophe all around us.I

Can I get paid for stopping at just one kid then & can we please charge extra for those with 2 or more as to the burden they place on societal balance!?

How far do you want to go?

My Joe, how I sympathise with yours and Nowty's comments above. It would seem that some are scrutinising the offer to the n'th degree and going way beyond even due diligence. It does make me wonder if they are simply trying throw doubt into others minds to try and strangle the project at berth and then get some sort strange satisfaction out of doing so! A bit like alternate theories and all that. Isn't it great to be able to post actual output from WF1just to show it and WF2 are by no means a hoax and with returns that any company listed on the LSE would be delighted to report.

Finished ranting, with the usual nonsensical posts..
As I said I’m interested but the Mrs needs more convincing.
