    solar panels....Sold a lemon?

    I thought that I would try and do something to reduce my carbon footprint and get solar panels and a storage battery installed in my house. (5kw of panels, 10kwh storage) but now find that no electrical supply company wants to touch me with a barge pole. I was with green energy but they went...

    I have an electric car and an air source heat pump (so we use quite a bit of electricity). We have a house with south-facing roof. I've had a few quotes but feel confused about the variety of advice we are getting. All agree that a battery is good. People have quoted between a 4kw unit to a...
