Anyone remember Delia Smith waving about a small steel frying pan and saying "I really like this one" and nearly bankrupting a small family business in the Lake District?:rotfl:

Solar PV is getting that feel of "let's invest in breeding ostriches" about it.

That small family business in the Lake District is now quite a bit bigger family business in the Lake District.

I'm not quite sure how you can go wrong getting free solar pv. Yes, if you have the cash you have the potential to get a better return, but if you haven't then what's the problem??

If/when I have grandkids - are they going to be thanking us for our legacy?

What date did you apply to ASG?
I think it currently takes about 28 days for a reply, I got mine on day 27!

Send them an email - [EMAIL="enquiries@ashadegreener.co.uk"]enquiries@ashadegreener.co.uk[/EMAIL] - I have found that they usually respond quickly.

Hi
I'm looking for a installer for my solar panel system.
Two that I have found that look quite good are EvoEnergy (evoenergy.co.uk) and Solar Logic (gosolarlogic.co.uk/).
Both companies look good, but has any one experienced either of these?
I like the companies because they are based close to me. Am I better off going with a large company like Tesco?
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks
