    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.

    The thing is if they are free and there s no charge to us for anything it won't make any difference. Hopefully we will see some reductions in the cost of our bills and if we don't i ll be saying something lol. They are just renting some of our roof space and as they are at the back they aren t intrusive plus they will protect the tiles. We have the maximum 18 as ours is in the perfect position apparently.

    There are two options the ones you pay for which you get money back etc or the free ones that reduce your bills. I knew which option I wanted. The company we had is called A shade greener. So if anyone wishes to go for it please pm me ;)

    Good Morning everyone :D

    Good afternoon all, no luck for me finding the Aussie giftset but will keep looking. Had a bit of a mess about buying V3 cards yesterday, one activation slip missing so had to go to cs to sort out.

    For anyone trying to find alternative ways to use them other than ppal, did we know that the school dinner thing parentpay takes v3 cards? I just loaded £25 onto dd2s lunch account using one with no probs. One less to go through ppal :)

    Ooh, thanks, that is very, very interesting. At our school you can pay for school trips through Parentpay :beer:

    Busy day planned so just had a brief catchup could not quite get the gist of posts being reported;)but do know it happens from time to time and rightly so but must say I have never done this myself.
    Off out for the day as first on the agenda is a much needed haircut:eek:then into Ms Shoes to get extra points and a glass of fizz then on the way back into T's to use a couple of nice PP's;)
    Enjoy your day and play nicely:cool:

    Did a muggle shop last night.

    Just inputting the receipts. I have noticed something interesting....

    A vs M
    3 x Heinz Baked Beanz in Tomato Sauce Snap Pots (4x200... £3.75 £5.10
    1 x Heinz Five Beanz Snap Pots (4x200g) £1.25 £2.60

    These are part of a 4 for £5 in A, but M is only picking up the original beans as part of mbuy. The 5Bean is still full price no mbuy at M.

    With my understanding of APG (i am new to this!! :o)...

    Buy 4 5bean snap pots in A for £5, APG compares at £10.40 v M. Would this generate a £5.94 APG & we are paid to take away?

    Fingers crossed for my first glitch :cool:

    I think you have this the wrong way round...

    In A Original beanz and Five beanz are both in the 4 for £5 promo
    In M Original beanz are 2 for £3 and £2.10 individually
    In M Five beanz are not on offer and are £2.60

    Buying 4 Five beanz would see £5 in A versus £10.40 in M so already better than 10% cheaper unless I'm missing something :think:

    Ha ha whoops

    Its too early & i had a late night, you are right. Maybe its something for a M v A shop. Could Savvy indicate if this could be achieved? :o:o:o

    To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
    To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
