    Green deal info

    pickng up on the rates point Gavin made, I went to a Green Deal Seminar and asked a question about borrowing rates, not surprisingly he was vague, when pushed if it would be more or less than mortgage rates he conceeded that it would be higher. After that everyone including himself knew he was...

    Rent a Roof

    thanks for posting... The program does go a bit over-board, implying that 100k drop in house value is down to the solar panels. But yes there is an underlying problem when selling/re-mortgaging and the buyout clauses are very high(to protect the investor income). in my view if you can't...

    Lead Generation Companies....

    my experience tell me that 15/50 is a excellent converstion rate. also they are good if you are just selling on price as by definition the customer is looking on-line to get a cheap quote, 90% of these customer price is the main variable, so if you are skilled able to show you know your stuff...

    Overhang and rail clamp positions OMG

    to be fair, with those two chimneys the house pretty ugly before it was tarnished with a horrendously installed solar installation... i've seen shockers but that is like an advert of how not to it...

    Thinking about going into domestic and commercial voltage optimisation, but not sure!

    Re: Thinking about going into domestic and commercial voltage optimisation, but not s I'd love to understand more on these, but i think more people should before selling them... one of our clients had one fitted after the PV as his production dropped right off. Of course as the PV was...

    No solar/ Who's Going into *WIND*

    Location, Location, Location.... , i've done a couple on east coast of kent. and gross payback was ridiculously quick much better than solar... Not for the feint hearted though. Maintenance will be much higher. Planning permission will take ages, and potentially dead money, and you have...

    roof replacement system

    it seems to me we are a bit slow on this in this country.... i had a client who wants his roof re-doing. and solar panels. looked at all sorts of options, solar century c12, and romag slates were too expensive, couldn't find a decent in roof system which didn't need acres of space around it...

    How long does DNO approval last for?

    It used to be that there was no time limit, the first response was initial but connection was done on a first come first serve basis. I.e. if you'd not confirmed and paid your money and a couple of big installs went up in the area then when you try to confirm the DNO could turn round and say...

    Draft Agreement for rent a roof.

    Or get one of the rent a roof mob round to try and 'sell' you a system. And check out there T&C's. The first time I saw one was when one of our eventual clients came waving it at me saying can you believe this..... I took a photocopy.

    Inverters for < 1 Kwp

    yeah agree with Ian, also some of them don't give a monkeys about the MCS and don't even bother applying for the FITs. They just install to meet building requirements. i'd never buy a new-build unless i built it myself.

    4KW Sytem Quote Required

    What it also does is imply that any one system is the same as another as installations all produce the same!! and encourage the market to install the cheapest. My brother-in-law who installs in Germany, is amazed by the utter tat we install over here, and this has been created by MCS (and...

    Trapezodial Roof

    they sell the same stuff, but from what i gathered at eco build, sunfixings know their mounting kit, mage solar were more interested the panels and inverters.

    Solar Limpets

    yeah cause they have two fixing points i think actually they would work on slate. not used them as it is against my principles to drill a slate, but i do conceed that if you are going to go through the slate these are the best i've seen. as for being plastic and problems with high/low temps...
