Solar Panels ?

Started by: GOLDEN BEAR (6774) 

Having read bits about solar panels and the latest Goverment report for climate change i beg the Question ," Why can't any Goverment just make it compulsory that ALL NEW BUILDS have to have these panels fitted ,would that not be a step in the right direction? Also for existing home owner's if they are serious about C/C then arrange thro suppliers for discounted panels to be fitted , this also applies to factories etc ,to me it seem's the best way to go instead of RAMMING Electric cars down our throats !

Are you saying "it's the future"?

PS: all new homes now have to have electric vehicle charging points fitted!

Today, I've had a job at Tyldesley. A company called Environmental Roofing (Solar Division).
They design and fit solar panel roofs and seem to have a lot of jobs on the go, with several project developers working there.

I told you - "It's the Future"!

It may be the future, but the government of whatever party is in power need to find the money for everyone being able to have it if they are serious about saving energy in their homes!

The power companies will not like everyones home having solar panels.Think what it will do to their profits.

They’ve already started to compensate for low-usage by increasing the standing charge!

I remember from years ago that many Homes in Cyprus had Solar panels and a rainwater storage system on the roof. Mains water was only used during the Sumner drought. Maybe we can learn from the initiatives of other countries.

Every time I read about Solar panels it seems it does not just end with the panels. To save the energy produced by the panels a lot of people install a bank of batteries and ancillary equipment . Does every one suddenly have to build a outhouse to store this equipment at an additional cost which again would have to comply with fire safety regulations Time you have done it must cost thousands of pounds and would take years to recoup the outlay

Either nobody listens or they’re too daft to understand.

BB, as long as your roof points towards the sky you’re ok for solar panels.

I have 3kw output and it’s cost me about a £thousand.

I’m willing to give any information I know to anybody who wants it, as long as they listen!
