    Anyone but Alternergy. They're as much use as a rubber crowbar.

    Genius Energy, Solihull

    During our meeting in 2010, they were pretty clear that what they were bringing to the table was a sales team. If I recall correctly they were involved in finance or something similar at the time.

    Genius Energy, Solihull

    Simple. They've set up a business which is incredibly prolific at selling PV systems. MCS aren't an obstacle to this - they are a facilitator.

    Genius Energy, Solihull

    50 installs a week? I find that incredibly sad. I wonder how many of those are mis-sold? And consequently, how big a stain on the industry they will leave behind when they finally decide to ride off into the sunset?

    Have a read of this. Lee Bould | Genius Energy "a few financial figures myself and my partner, Phil Moore, scribed on the back of a smoke packet nearly three years ago" That pretty accurately describes their design and quoting process, funnily enough. "In fact I was recently chosen to help Greg...

    I am well aware of Genius. They're an utter joke of an outfit. I met their gaffer around three years ago before they had started. He wanted us to work with him installing PV systems on a day rate. We didn't even get round to discussing prices as when I casually told him that I was working...

    Need BenQ 330W

    From chatting to people at Ecobuild, LG300w panels are expected to be priced around 5p/w more than the 285w. We currently pay around £195 for the LG285s I believe.

    Is this a good price for North East?

    Agree with Gary. Price looks fine. But there is a big difference between a good install and a bad install. A casual look through the last few weeks on this forum will show you what I mean. Check out their other installs. Speak to their previous customers.

    Solar storage

    With cheaper electricity in UK, the case for storage is even harder to make.

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    Not really. Solarworld were showing their new glass back sheet panels which look great. Apparently this means that they can offer much better performance warranties as the backing sheet is considered to be the perishable part of the panel. Some more Chinese inverter manufacturers showcasing...

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    Yes, I recall listening to your talk now. Didn't realise you were from CCL.

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    Yeah, I noticed! To be fair, it seemed busy everywhere.

    New solar panels poor performance, can't contact solar company! Apolo solar.

    Are the panels easily accessible from the velux window? If they are, it might not be too tricky to put right.

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    Andy, I did pass by a few times. Firstly you'd popped out for a cig and then later on you were busy with other people. Didn't want to disturb you. The event was ok. Seemed busier than previous years which was a bit frustrating. Not a lot of new stuff out there as far as I'm concerned.

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    I definitely will.

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    I'm going tomorrow.... on my sodding own. My brother is busy sorting other stuff so he's backed out.

    Hoodwinked in to expensive, underperforming PV system

    When you say north east, is it directly facing that way? No reason why those panels shouldn't be doing reasonably well, although it is debatable whether it was actually worth considering this roof space in the first place. Particularly as in doing so you have pushed into the 4-10kWp FITs...

    5kw inverter on 4 kW system??

    Is it possible? Yes. But you would need to speak to the DNO as this would effectively be above the G83 limit of 16A. This system would have the capability of producing over 3.68kWh and therefore DNO permission is required. Is it desirable? In my opinion, no. The system is oversized and...

    Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

    We'll be there. Either the Tuesday or the Wednesday. I expect PV will make up less of the show than usual.

    Ac vd

    That's a fair point. Testing the incoming voltage is a pretty important part of a survey. But you do have to consider the possibility that grid voltages may rise.
