An extraordinary journey towards a world enhanced by PV solar panels

The Smart Export Guarantee ensures traditional energy suppliers offer competing rates to small-scale domestic PV solar generators. A moment in history that’s equal to the Magna Carta.

Since 1066, our nation’s medieval wood stocks, then coal and later electricity resources became tightly controlled. Today, for the first time since William the Conqueror, the general population can self-generate and sell on the open energy market. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been passionate about PV solar panels for half my adult life now. I’ve seen PV prices drop down to more attainable levels over that time. From day one, I knew PV solar panels represented freedom to their adopters.

The satisfaction I get from releasing households back into the wild with decades of cheap energy is immeasurably satisfying. Sadly, I’ve witnessed ‘The Establishment’ doing their best to deter uptake – why? Read the rest of this entry »

Unbelievably, nobody is talking about the energy implications of Brexit! We’re declaring a trade war with those with energy tentacles wholly entwined within our country. Interestingly, pension funds are intrinsically linked to the energy sector. Something the Brexit-media failed to tell their readership!

Great news!

The government has finally decided to support the UK’s PV-solar industry. Shamed by protesting school children!

The new Smart Export Guarantee means energy suppliers will purchase surplus PV-power from 1st January 2020. Read the rest of this entry »

A homeowner and home renter divide will grow as the consequences of living in the 21st-century now inevitably circumscribe! Homeowners will increasingly adopt PV solar panels while their renting counterparts will be unable to equip themselves with alternative technology.

I’ve been crowing about the virtues of solar panels for fifteen years now. Today, we reached a moment I knew would always come. Subsidies are no longer required for PV solar panels (photovoltaic) to be financially viable.

A landmark moment for humanity. Energy consumers can now ‘go their own way’. Astute homeowners are leaving behind those still chasing their tails on ‘Switch’ sites. There’s no pride in finding the best energy deal anymore! Read the rest of this entry »
