In this, my last blog about the Fully Charged Show, I'm going to put a spotlight on some of the interesting EVs there that weren't cars. Naturally there were many eBikes on display, alongside a test track available for visitors to test ride them. Some of the eBikes on show at Fully Charged,
Here's an interesting recent solar install, covering different roof types. This photo has been taken from footage captured by our drone. On the left is a conventional pitched roof install, here on slate tiles. On the right we can see panels on flat roof frames with ballast, on a dormer roof. Solar install,
Warning from the supply chains... We have been receiving a number of warnings from our supply chain that unfortunately solar and battery prices will rise in Q1 2022. This is as a result of a number of factors but one of the most significant is the growing power shortages in China which have a
Here are some photo's of a recent install near Colchester. It's on a slate roof and slate can be tricky if it's old - great care has to be taken to avoid damage to tiles. We use a system where the panels are fixed through the slates so they don't have to be lifted or
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report was a “Code Red” for human-driven global warming. The world has never been more aware of the dangers of climate change and the need to switch to green energy sources. One of the building blocks of a green energy future, is the often-undiscussed energy storage capacity. This element
This week I'm going to run through some of the more exotic and high-end (or just interesting) electric cars that were on display at the Fully Charged show this year. Let's kick off with a celebrity - a Ford Mustang Mach-E. This particular one has just been in the news for breaking records including
Most of our time at Fully Charged was, naturally, spent on our stand telling potential customers about the benefits of solar and battery storage. However, there was still time to go exploring around the show and I began by heading towards the main EV sales area. Here the most popular electric cars were on
We're just back from the Fully Charged show and had a great time! Tanjent at Fully Charged 2021 (Image: JT/Tanjent) We had a stand to showcase our solar and battery design and install services and had a really successful weekend with lots of surveys books and quotes requested. The Fully Charged Live/Outside
We look into the innovations and the growing challenges of storing energy produced by renewable sources. As the energy sector moves increasingly towards green transition, new challenges are emerging. One of the main disadvantages of renewable energy sources – their dependence on potentially inconsistent weather – is thus drawing attention to energy storage systems, which
[Update February 2024: Note this is an old blog post - most recent Zappis come with a built-in Hub so it is no longer necessary to go through the process covered below]We install quite a lot of myEnergi's Zappi electric vehicle charge points as they are well suited to charging an EV from solar panels,
