There's a couple of recipes online but I don't know how reliable they are. they're a kind of a big flat soft ginger nut style cookie, rather than like a bun or cake. You smear butter or spread on them about five seconds before your arteries fill up with cookeen and they have to bury you.

Hi,


I seem to recall a conversation on here about solar panels recently. Wondered if anyone could offer a bit of advice.


Went to IKEA today but they didn't have what we wanted, so went for free coffee. Saw that there was no queue for the solar panel people and went to enquire about a quote. Seems very positive and much cheaper than anything we have had quoted in the past. Anyone with any experience of Hanergy or IKEA systems. Will it give us 'free' energy and pay us a return?
The panels are not as efficient as some, but we have a lot of roof area, so can have a lot of panels.

I don't know is this where they put panels on your roof buth the extra electric is theirs (like emerald is doing).
If you have decent roof space facing the right way not blocked by trees and you are buying the panels then it should cover all you need in electric plus you sell what is left back to the grid. Ok a few days in winter it will not produce enough but works on a quarterly system.
My parents had solar water panels put up in 1994. They still have the same panels now. They also had ground source heat pumps put in just to use when they had guests and needed loads of water.

They have a pump system that heats the hot water for central heating which uses some electric. They had the electric panels put in 2006.
They sell back around £900 of electric. They use PCs, TV all day lights, fridge, 2 freezers
, washing machine everyday and dishwasher.

Depends on number of panels and facing of roofs but I think it is a great thing as all for alternative energy.

Going back to 1994 mum said first bath cost £2.5k and she had had free water ever since.

When we had Orlando villa there was no other solar around. We had panels for pool heating, house hot water and house electric. As we rented it out people were not that careful and left air con on all day and night. We were selling back a lot of electric.

When I finally buy a house I will have all alternative energy. You can insure panels against extreme weather damage.

I also invested in a company that put panels on schools. Schools basically rent roof space out and in return get free electric.
Also invested in the new tidal energy farm in Wales.

If you can afford the outlay then better to buy yourself as the income is good. If you decide to rent your roof then just make sure you are insured against installation damaging your roof.

It is so rare in Florida that the couple whombought our house didn't know there was solar and agent didn't point it out. He felt like a lottery winner when he found out as we had spent around £30k installing it all.

I would want the best effective panels though as you still get some electric even on drab winter days as it is light that makes them work of course sunlight is best as brighter.

Just a quick one as it's another early start again for me.

SSM, did you get any of the reeds or other smellies from A a few months back? That would be a free (or almost free) gift and you could say that she could put them in the nappy-changing room :rotfl:
