Ecobuild 2014 - anyone going?

[Gavin A]

I am not going this year to busy

ditto.

 

[SolarCity]

I'm going tomorrow.... on my sodding own.

My brother is busy sorting other stuff so he's backed out.

 

[SibertSolar]

Pop by for a chat Chris, rest your legs

 

[SolarCity]

I definitely will.

 

[JulianC]

Wish they'd move it to the NEC. I'm off tree planting down the local park instead...

 

[BruceB]

Yes excel is a pain to get to from west of London. On a megabus at the moment. Cheap but I know why it is only £5!

 

[SolarCity]

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.

 

[SibertSolar]

Sorry didn't get a chance to see you Chris, barely had a chance to take a breath!

 

[SolarCity]

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

 

[Energetic]

Excel might as well be Istanbul for us, So how was it? Any game changers?

 

[SolarCity]

I'm down on Wed...
You'll find me at the SMA Solar City

Ken

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

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 their stuff.

Interesting Solar Angel PV~T product. Uses Romag technology so can be sold as British made. Early days yet, but looks promising.

 

[SibertSolar]

And there's no change/increase to the frame thickness...

Solar PV T will not be eligible for RHI, only FIT, so looks expensive.

Interesting roof integration solutions on show. Two already have MCS012 (Easyroof and Renusol) another French system GSE will be accredited by month end. The latter looks as if it will be very competitively priced in comparison with the other two.

interesting new solar collector tank from Viridian for effective use in conjunction with a combi boiler.

who wasn't exhibiting as interesting as who was...
