Schools “need £5.4 Billion” for solar PV & LEDs, if Net Zero is to be met. The figure – equivalent to 5% of all government spending on education last year – comes in a report from eEnergy, a commercial provider of energy efficiency services. Its study accuses ministers of doing too little to help the nation’s primary & secondary maintained sectors meet the Net Zero goals overseen by energy ministry D-ESNZ. #energy #netzero #education https://lnkd.in/eyMSDwJy

How do you truly get to know a company? 🤔 You ask their customers! 🎉 Here's a recent review one of Derbyshire based customers wrote about us on Which? Trusted Trader! "After deciding to explore Solar PV we used Which? Trusted traders to approach 3 business for a quote. ASK Renewables had a professional approach from the start which made them stand out. Matt was our contact and he took time to listen to our questions and concerns, as well as really getting to understand what we needed for our home. All the technical details were there to back up the product quality. Matt explained everything clearly, with added tips and advice on getting the most from yourinvestment. The price was competitive and Matt gave us confidence that they understood that this is a big financial commitment and there was no pressure to decide anything. Once we did agree to go with ASK they were efficient and met every timescale they set out. The fitters were great, everything was in place in less than a working day and the panels work perfectly. The after sale follow up has been good and we felt assured that we can call on ASK for any advice or issues in the future. Would definitely recommend them."

Now that Solar & Storage Live, our industry's biggest trade event, has concluded, Joe Warren, Founder of Powervault, shares his insights on how much has changed in the last year in this blog post, particularly behind-the-meter solar energy storage. Here's a summary of Joe's key themes: 🔑 **Key Highlights:** 1️⃣ **VAT Reduction Success:** In 2023, we successfully campaigned for a VAT reduction on retrofit batteries from 20% to 0%, making it more affordable for customers to invest in renewable energy. 2️⃣ **Falling Battery Prices:** More residential and small industrial and commercial settings are now finding battery storage financially viable as prices drop, making solar and battery storage increasingly accessible. 3️⃣ **New Government Urgency:** The recent general election has accelerated efforts to decarbonize the electricity sector, with the reconfiguration of National Grid ESO into "NESO," a publicly owned body focused on net-zero and energy security. 4️⃣ **Unlocking Flexibility Value:** Small-scale batteries are slowly gaining recognition for their role in grid flexibility. The Association of Decentralised Energy is pushing for governance changes to unlock more opportunities for smaller assets to participate in the energy market. 💡 **Optimism Ahead:** With maturing products, affordable prices, and growing support for small-scale assets, the next year looks promising for the solar and battery storage sector. Here's to progress toward a cleaner, net-zero future! 🌱⚡ #RenewableEnergy #SolarStorage #NetZero #EnergyTransition #BatteryStorage

Solar PV providers I have a question. When considering Solar PV are South facing walls a viable options? Whilst walls represent the challenge of not being able to achieve the ideal 30% gradient there must be other benefits, such as ease of install and better winter generation. #solar #savingenergyeverywhereigo Sebastian Everett

📢 Calling #Solar owners! Are there many people out there who struggle to understand the import / export tariffs...? What time of day should you charge / discharge your battery? Are you actually on the best tariff? Do you know your export is working properly as you can't understand the data? If this is you, please comment below.

Is you or is you ain't GNI? Calling all heating engineers... We're about to launch a feature (coded by the brilliant Sebastian Kaminski) that allows users of our website and our own staff to select a system "speed" (to borrow from Nathan Gambling) that will show radiator outputs at flow temps of 70, 60, 50 and 42.5ºC. This is in response to some fairly complicated and not always accurate ways we've seen of converting radiator outputs from the stated ∆T50 figures down to what they'll actually give on a high efficiency, low temperature system. I'm a firm believer that we as an industry need to do everything we can to help engineers design for maximum efficiency. When we were designing this feature, I suggested to my brother Adam Baylis that we should have an advanced feature that allows users to enter a custom flow, return and ambient temperature, to which he shouted "YAGNI" - which apparently means "You Ain't Gonna Need It". So my question is this: is you, or is you not gonna need more than the four output speeds in the table below?

What is the point of using an energy broker if he doesn't tell you what's happening. If you sign a contract right now with the supplier who offers you the cheapest kwh charge and the lowest standing charge. The chances are it will be the most expensive contract you could possibly sign. Don't forget Energy suppliers are sneakier than a sneaky thing, studying at Crook College. There are a new breed of contracts that you have to be aware of and they have a host clauses that you need to be aware of. 1. They make provision that if you use 10% more than their prediction of your usage they will make a surcharge on all kwh used outside of your Estimated Annual Consumption. ( If you are in a business where a new order would increase your energy usage this is not a contract to be in)   2. They make provision that if you fail to hit your Estimated Annual Consumption. You will be charged for that energy anyway. It’s called “Take or Pay” ( You must verify that the energy usage, on the contract that you sign is accurate and in line with your actual usage)   3. They make provision that should your contract not go live that they can immediately charge you and invoice you for 75% of your estimated energy use over the term of the agreement. That means that if you spend £1000 a month on energy for a 3 year contract that doesn't go live you will get an invoice for £27,000.00 ( You may feel this is unfair! Ombudsman Services have come down on the side of the supplier, and have given them a green light to act in this way.)   4. They make provision that should you decide to move your business or sell your business that they can charge you for your projected energy use for the remainder of your contract. ( What this means is that you can no longer sign a long agreement if there is a chance that you may move, retire or sell the premises at some point in the future.) You will have to pay for all of the energy that the supplier projected that you would use. Remember, these terms are dangerous enough on their own, but if you add into the mix, the levels of duplicity that both brokers and suppliers work with, it is common place for these contracts to be used to separate you from your hard earned cash. BEWARE of the following. Anyone who doesn't tell you these things. Anyone who tells you that the prices are fixed. Anyone who only provides you with "The principle terms and conditions." Anyone who won't let you see the complete terms and conditions. Anyone who tells you that I am wrong. It's a Jungle out there ! Danny 02392 253322 [email protected]

Are you a solar PV procurement officer or quality manager and intrigued by the VDE SMQS 90038 documents? though, don't have the team/resources to do it in house? Sunzest Solar provides a thorough review following those best practices/guidelines and more; - Financial review from three different sources - Site considerations/risks that should be accounted related to that specific solar panel technology (consideration of weathering aspects like UV, humidity, temperature that could impact performance/reliability/durability) - Review of the ESG reports from the PV module manufacturer - Double checking the warranty and re-insurance and noting any important factors to take note of. Moreover, Sinovoltaics can be your partner in executing the production monitoring and coordinate PV module testing! Benoit van der Maas is the person to talk to.
