This article caught my eye, not just because it's about using PV and storage to help with disasters and grid resiliency, but because all such uses and deployments will mean an ever faster and greater rollout of storage, from which we all (me included ) will benefit in the longer term. Or to be clearer, I'll be able to play with storage sooner as the 'longer term' gets shortened.

sheep seem to love their facilities maintenance role in the power generation sectorThe mind of the bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.

Perhaps because fossil fuels and nuclear are not renewables and they are highly polluting either during or after generation.
Very true, plus, of course, I was talking about the economics, but according to him, they don't share the same economic laws as each other, or renewables, and he "cannot think of a single scientific or academic group that agrees with you [me] on the subject."
At some point FF supporters and nuclear campaigners have to accept that renewables have won the economic fight. But till then it's still interesting and fun to exchange information.Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.

Second huge solar farm in the works as INRG plots 120MW post-subsidy array
This article gives a bit more detail about the new scheme, but more importantly looks into the difficulties of going subsidy free in the UK. It looks tough, but not impossible, and solar costs keep falling further and further, certainly further than I'd even dreamed they could by this point in time.

Hi
Just reading one of the news feeds I usually use for updates & noticed that it had picked up on a tweet from Ofgem a few hours ago ...Feed-in Tariff rates will remain current until March 2018. Future tariff rates can be found here: http://!!!!!!/EnpG30hGNNZ

... so no change in the tariff applicable for new systems for now ...

That's interesting, it's very slightly different to the list I've been using in the FAQ's (by about 0.1p/kWh) every quarter. I'll change the reference to this document instead.Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.

... I'd guess that the link Ofgem provided would be the official list! ...
When it comes to OFGEM you can never be too careful.
FAQ's amended. Thanks again.Mart. Cardiff. 5.58 kWp PV systems (3.58 ESE & 2.0 WNW). Two A2A units for cleaner heating.
