We recently did a solar and battery install very local to us - this was in Hemel Hempstead and we're based in Kings Langley. The solar was a large array of 24 panels, each 375W giving a total power of 9 kWp, connected to a Sofar 7.5 kW solar inverter. We handled the necessary
A recent install in Enfield gives us a good opportunity to show off the capability of our drone! Not only can we do accurate surveys ahead of an install, including close-ups on the condition of the roof, but we can follow up after an install to check everything looks good. Drone image of
We did an install in Hounslow earlier this month and here are a few pictures. This system has just 6 panels on a house roof with concrete tiles, but they are each high power (357W) so overall the system will generate a good supply for the property. One of our solar installs in
The UK’s recent fuel predicament led to a 1,500% spike in Google searches for electric vehicles (EVs) in September. So, it’s unsurprising to hear that after the gas crisis many people are now considering how to best reduce their transportation fuel bills, future proof their homes to replace their old gas or oil boilers and
Also known as V2G—or V2X—bidirectional charging means power can flow both into and out from an EV’s battery. When millions faced power outages in Texas following winter storms in February, Ryan O’Gorman drove the icy, “apocalyptic” streets and thought about electric vehicles. “You drive around and you see all these F-150s in the driveways, and
The number of domestic energy suppliers has fallen by over half from 47 to 25 since the start of 2021. This is according to Cornwall Insight, which showed that at the start of the year there were 5 large, 12 medium and 30 small suppliers, however this has now dropped dramatically, with the year holding
Wind and solar power, alone, can meet more than 80 per cent of demand in many countries around the world without “crazy amounts” of storage or excess generating capacity, a new report has found. The study led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and published recently in Nature Communications argues that most of
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,
We have every tool we need to tackle the climate crisis. Here’s what some key sectors are doing The climate emergency is the biggest threat to civilisation we have ever faced. But there is good news: we already have every tool we need to beat it. The challenge is not identifying the solutions, but rolling
Solar PV, energy storage and other clean energy technologies are to be exempt from business rates rises from April 2023 as part of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget, representing a major victory for the sector. Discussing business rates during his 2021 Autumn Budget today, Sunak said the Treasury was responding to calls by the Federation of
