RE: Lightly OT: Solar Power

[Scott Crowther <scrowther@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I buy my electricity from unit-[e] at http://www.unit-e.co.uk/ (now renamed
'Good Energy'), who generate their power using 100% renewable energy
sources.

If you are interested in signing up, let me know so I can give you my
account number. I get =A35 off my bill for every referral...  ;-)

Brian,

I too visited CAT and bought the wind generator in a brake drum book but
in my location I have a lot of trees which do not give it good air...

An 'alternative' is to buy electricity from a Green supplier who only
use renewable sources... Seems the way to go for me.

This is one of my old hobbies, I support "The Centre of alternative
Technology" based in Wales.

http://www.cat.org.uk/

They have allsorts of kit and I, like you, feel a bit guilty about
having machines running 24/7.

I bought one of their plans for making a wind generator, not massive
amps output but also not a silly price either.

It involves buying a scrap brake drum from a double wheeled Transit
Van.....looks interesting but god knows when I will get time to make
one, or two.....

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here had gone down the rout of solar=20
power/wind power, and was wondering how they found it. Firstly, did=20
they find it worked well with their automation set up (any probs=20
with X10), and did it allow them become in any way energy self=20
suffeceint.

Just enquiring, cos its something I'm considering and would love to=20
take the plunge.

Regards,
Eamon
