I have been asked by my previous University to investigate the argument of Solar PV v?s Solar Thermal installations. I would collect data over the summer months and draw conclusions on how the respective technologies operate in the London environment.


I am looking for two houses ideally in the same area of SE London so that both are getting as near as possible identical environment conditions.


The first house will have Solar PV generating electricity installed while the second will have Solar Thermal panels installed generating hot water.


Let me know if you have either technology installed and we can discuss with a view to recording some real time data which will help investigate the true worth of these technologies.

I'm also doing research on new technology uptake. I'm glad this thread has been lounged as you are the intelligensia of the EDF, too numerous to name but you know who you are and I court your ideas here please:


What would "sell" you on more than required (insulation is all that's required and then people replace their windows on a need to basis) home energy new technologies?


Would you ever put in solar electric? hot water? geo-thermal? grey water reuse?


Do you think they don't work? Do you think they are too expensive? Do you just not have enough ?? for things like that and other home improvement, so you defer?


I'd really love to read your ideas... by Tuesday next week... not to put you under pressure. 20's a statistical sample but you are all so smart it would be a biased sample


Would you use a website that showed costs based on rooms and technologies and payback projections if it was shiney and bright?


There are existing government unbiased websites and WHICH? has a members website which calculates costs and payback. Are they not user friendly?

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
