as the title says expected price increases very soon

something has got to give, and i dont mean us householders giving more money for energy bills
Start a website 'How to fiddle your Electric & Gas meters without being caught'
I think it would catch on!
Will this encourage more people to invest in solar?
i would hope so but whos got money like that in a depression
Will this encourage more people to invest in solar?
more likley to lead to riots,something will give soon as has been said,people have had enough..

And they have 99.9% of the population by the balls, lets all turn our lights off in anger...
That has always been part of the gas and electricity bill hasnt it - years ago we had a standing charge, then you could opt to pay no standing charge, but your price per kWh was more.That won't avoid the standing charge they are introducing!!!
It never bothers me when fuel prices rise. It wouldn't bother me if prices were twice what they are now. Money is by far the best way to make people think more about energy saving. I'm speaking as a concerned inhabitant of planet Earth rather than an owner of a solar panel business.
1. the Return on investment just got BIGGER
2. the payback period just got shorter
All I can say is owners the of solar panels

I know the fuel bill rises may get people thinking about solar again.
I glad we can now help people with out the funding upfront, and its better than rent a roof because you own the system from day 1
I was told last weekend by a former carbon trader that the actual environmental payback once manufacturing and transportation impact of all component parts is considered, and allowing for the positive benefits of solar electricity compared to existing grid generation, is around 25 years. Do you know if that's true?

Many nations have tried communism before; it usually fails.
Well, a good argument if any to get a PV install. Halved my consumption from the grid (and if Mrs Micrashed hadnt been a bit over zealous with the washing machine and drier last week it would have been less). So with a bit of luck I will end up reducing my direct debit.
If only I could do the same with my gas. 17kWh/day just for keeping the hot water tank warm is a bit frightening. Possibly another argument for me to retire the Baxi Solo and think about a combi. I just cant bear to replace something with just 2 moving parts and uBer reliability with something with a zillion parts to break.
big investment in renewable energy
They also run some hydro stations of the type profiled on a TV program about a year ago; the hydro's sit idle for hours but when the adverts come on telly in the evening, the 3kW kettles go on all across the nation, the grid power plummets and SSE's hydro stations kick-in to provide a massive surge capacity, by letting literally an entire mountain-top-lake full of water through a huge turbine in just a few minutes.
After the surge the water is then pumped back up using cheap-rate power (night time) for using as surge capacity at another time.
I thought that was a spelling mistake! Then I have just spent the last hour and a half reading through the threads. Still confused!You need an Immersun
Some of you have stated you want to reduce gas bills, well that can be achieved also. Look into biomass boilers,they really are the next big thing

They are also Mahoosive and I have no where to place one when you compare them to a standard wall mount boiler.[/COLOR]
Im not convinced that an air source pump would be cost effective for me to replace a mains gas fired set up, Biomass yes, but space is an issue Im afraid. I have nothing near the house that could house a biomass boiler and hopper feed/store. The nearest outbuilding is some 40 feet from the house - and thats a helluva long run for heating pipes.Biomass are not as big as you may think!
Do you have a utility room or a garage where you could put the biomass?
You can also buy a ip65 version, so do you have room outside, or maybe a shed?

So thats partly why the interest in the ImmerSun system. The Gas fired heating system is on during the winter months anyway with spare heat going to the exchanger in the hot water tank, so its really just during summer months that I could do with heating the tank via another means.
I have a small (5m x 2.7m) SE facing extension roof but this suffers shade issues and is a long way below the DHW tank. Or I have a NW facing roof some 6m x 5m with no shade issues but NW facing.....Or Thermodynamic Solar ASHP and Solar thermal in one! (If he's got any roof space left !! )
No current renewable technology will replace mains gas.
