    How much should a solar system cost??? Does it really pay back?

    How much should a solar system cost??? Does it really pay back?

    Rob explains the true cost of his solar system and sets out his experience on payback. We discuss the key choices he made in selecting both a system an installer and how his use of the system has changed along with tariffs.

    Huge thanks to Ror for joining us and respect to Sam for fronting up with a customer of his to set this out.

    Hopefully this is useful to consumers considering a PV and battery storage system for home and also other installers out in industry.

    The IET and chair of JPEL64 explain amendment 3 BS 7671 - Bidirectional RCBOs - PAS and lotsss more!

    We get into the recent AMD3 draft for public comment of BS761 dispelling myths and answering key concerns direct from the IET and chair of the committee building these things.

    So was it really a manufacturer conspiracy? Money making scam? Pointless? Rushed? To late?

    Or was it just a group of hard working people trying to do the best they can for industry?

    Watch the video or listen to the podcast and from your own views!

    Huge thanks to Michael and Graham for travelling so far and taking the time to sit down and chat. Far more widely than the topics discussed I learned loads and am very grateful for the privilege of the time shared.

    Dont forget to get involved and share your comments on the DPC https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2024-01247

    The BSI website does need some work but perhaps that will improve soon as well!
