In one, more recent, issue of New Scientist, it is reported that thermoelectric materials can be combined with traditional PV technology to improve the efficiency of Solar arrays from ~20% up to around 50%, making them a more plausible alternative to fossil fuels in terms of efficiency.

Not an installer, I represent London’s largest volunteer-led solar buyers’ club, ‘Juice From Your Roof’. Am in touch with Martyn Williams, and eager to assist with a ring-round of Tory MPs, as early as possible in advance of Tuesday 13 December. Call me on 07710 888064. The club has 120 members in Wimbledon, Kingston & SW London. Lobbying MPs myself, I am also encouraging JFYR’s members to do so too. Seb Berry asked me to lend ‘Juice From Your Roof’ to the judicial review case which Solarcentury is bringing.

We would be more than happy to get behind a more regional demonstration! We are based in Banbury, Oxfordshire and are fully supportive of this campaign and trying to make a change! Solar is our future, we need to fight for it!

Hi,
I’m a researcher in the field of solar PV at UCL and I’d like to support the action day on 13th Dec. I live in London. Can you keep me in the loop?

Thanks,
Jane

This is pretty inaccurate, you have not taken into account the savings on electricity (approx £250 -£300 with a £1000 feed in tariff rate) and the % increase in electricity over 25 years, or the export tariff, you have just concentrated on the feed in tariff.

Also you are not taking into account the ability of putting into a cash ISA the £1000 feed in tariff that would attract 3% tax free, added every year by another £1000.

I would be interested to see what the new figures are when you take account of the full picture.

This is if we are looking at the complete financial befits and rate of return

We’re amongst the fortunate ones – we had out PV array installed in September.
We are now self-sufficient in electricity taken on a yearly basis, even though of course we still pay for electricity when the panels aren’t producing.

But this move is surely the wrong direction. Don’t ewe want more self-sufficiency, not less? Don’t we want less carbon dioxide to be emitted, not more? Don’t we want greater diversity in energy production, rather than greater centralisation?

And shouldn’t people’s word mean something, even if it is the Government?
