Ridiculous suggestions - Who in their right mind would go to the pub or theatre on a bike? What about parents who have to drop one child at one school and another child at another school? Or parents with mobility issues?

I am already talking with a UK company who have apparently secured the distribution rights for solar PV for balconies from the German manufacturer. Let’s see how it goes.

Do you really have to make the journey in under 2 hours? Why not just make the existing journey more pleasurable? More comfortable seating, better internet connectivity, better catering…basically provide an enhanced service so passengers enjoy are more pleasurable journey.

That just shows the pricing of HP’s is driven by suppliers/installers.

Solar thermal for your hot water next then? 👍

HP's do work if designed and installed correctly. 'Salespeople' will sell their products - more training is needed in this sector. You shouldn't buy a HP from one sitting of a 'salespersons sales pitch'. Get an independent survey with heat loss calcs and current insulation/requirements.

Ok. Thats a gas stove though, not your heating. Have you removed your gas stove and now use electricity for cooking?

Ask the questions and record the answers and get proof too. Reputable suppliers and installers will have no issues answering these questions and providing proof. The first steps are the retrofit assessment and heat loss calcs, and independent project management.

How are you improving the indoor air quality? Do you have an air filtration system?

A few questions to ask when researching HP supplier/ installer: 1. How long in HP business? 2. Do they have Public Liability/Professional Indemnity insurance? 3. How many installs have they successfully completed, without issues? 4. What is their ‘Dispute & Resolution’ policy?

There’s no doubt those in the HP sector will be driving the prices up taken the subsidies available. I have no issue companies making a reasonable profit, I fear that’s not the case though! Interesting figures re: HP’s and Spain though. Thanks.

The costs of supplying and installing a domestic HP does need to looked at as they seem to me ‘priced’ in accordance with the UK grant?

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

You are most welcome. If you need any more advice, please ask. I am happy to help.

My advice: 1. Get a retrofit assessment to ascertain the state of the building fabric - what, if any, insulation upgrades are needed. 2. Get heat loss calculations done. Great advice here: www.heatgeek.com/heat-losses/ 3. Research installers,choose one,and get the project managed independently.

Very sorry to hear about flooding in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester is pretty much all in the Mersey river basin. It’s a tricky catchment, with lots of small rivers (and lots of stuff built near rivers for industrial reasons) www.merseyrivers.org

Catchment map of the Mersey basin, including the Irwell, a tributary of the Mersey. It covers most of Greater Manchester, Merseyside and east Cheshire

Fabric first and homeowner education is the only approach to installing a HP. Some companies place 'fabric' at 4th or 5th on the list...quite odd really. Like trying to collect water in a sieve! Not in all cases though. A planned approach with well designed installed insulation and the HP👍

…the speed of incoming wind, reducing power output, and the turbulent air can also cause a significant increase in fatigue loading in the downstream turbines.

Net Zero Carbon.Eco @netzerocarbon.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

And why are lines of clouds broader on the right than the left? This could be because of different wind speeds or different ocean temperatures. What is really clear is that downwind turbines can be right in those turbulent wakes, even if they are sited far apart. This reduces…

One theory is that the nearly-saturated air slows and cools as it passes the front turbine, causing moisture to condense out and form clouds. Another idea is that it’s because the turbulence downwind pulls additional cool, moist air from the ocean surface.

Fascinating. This is a fascinating photo showing the turbulent wakes from wind turbines churning the air over the North Sea and how this can affect downwind turbines. These wakes can be kilometres long but are usually invisible. Why have they formed lines of clouds in this case? #WindTurbines

That's great to hear about @octopus.energy Been in the renewable tech sector for 12 years - customer facing in the commercial sector - transparency is the only option. The 'insulation' point needs addressing/explaining for the public too. No point heating a home with drafts and leaking energy.

While families across the UK face the 'heating or eating' crisis of soaring energy bills, in Spain they have the challenge of dealing with 'energy abundance' after the government carried out regulatory reform and offered subsidies for the renewables sector www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.uk

Too much of a good thing? Spain's green energy can exceed demand

Spain is looking at storing electricity or increasing demand to solve electricity oversupply.

I have never liked the concept of Carbon Offsetting as it's too easy an option for many to take! A decarbonisation strategy, energy reduction plan, Scope Emissions reporting should be the default position for all. #NetZeroCarbon #Reduceenergyconsumption #decentralisedenergysystems #energysecurity
