    I've given this thread a generalised heading for ease of recall.

    Any useful links to information resources that will show up on a 'search'...

    PV systems... http://www.eco-logicbooks.com/index.cfm?fa=book_details&book_id=598&affiliate_id=18

    Anyone actually read it and formed an opinion?

    It's also available cheaper on Amazon... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Photovoltaics-Electricity-Solar-Cells/dp/093794811X

    Had hoped there'd be some reviews on Amazon, but sadly not.

    Posted By: JoinerAre there ANY printed books in your place


    Hundreds, I have more books than music/DVDs. I cannot throw a book away, I can sell it, give it away, use them as door stops, re-read them (have a favourite that I read about every 2 years). I have to avoid going into second hand book shops, or I have to not eat for a week. I have books on Mathematics, Engineering, Economics, Architecture, Cars, Boats, Planes, Religion, Ethics, Building, Environment, Botany, Space, Wiring, Mechanical Engineering (all engineering really), stories, antiques, but do you know what gets me, people comment on my bookshelves, I knocked then up out of MDF one morning when i moved in as was fed up tripping over the books.
    I have the file server on the top shelf :wink:

    ps. There may be a bookmark in there somewhere.

    This concept of combined solar heating/pv appears interesting.

    There was an article in last week's Sunday Times about that, Brian. 95% efficiency claimed by the company on the basis of the results of testing by Imperial College.

    Further discussion here... http://www.wind-sun.com/ForumVB/showthread.php?15183-The-Virtu-Hybrid-Solar-Panel

    (I've also opened a discussion thread to avoid this thread's main aim being overwhelmed by what I'm sure will be a massive response.) :rolling:

    Not looked recently, but it is one of my favourite sites, are we still cheap?

    Actually have just looked at we are 5th bottom of list on Gas Prices (a very bad thing) and about midway on Electric.
    But the interesting thing is to look at the price and who is above and below us.

    Yes , and those States with cheaper gas/electric it only slightly , where as many much higher
    Many complain of rising domestic fuel cost seem unaware what other have to pay in the EU.
