    Flooded areas, increased work?

    Are any of you guys benefiting from increased work where areas have been flooded? I was expecting a deluge (Pardon the pun) of remedial work but not much so far. Shades of the broken window fallacy, but work is work!

    EPC's a farce for remote areas where Solar PV helps the most!

    Any one agree? We installed 25 systems in the Isles of Scilly over a 3 month period, huge demand and interest in a small place that has an increasing problem with high demand but limited infrastructure, but no mains gas so no condensing boilers so no EPC rating of even 40! Bloody sad
