Biomass & Wood Chips:

Wood Chip Power Stations – most governments, including the EU, the English, Welsh and Scottish are supporting this form of power generation as a renewable energy and subsidising it to encourage it, but have they got it right or dreadfully wrong? ….

Normal and ‘Room Sealed’ domestic wood burners compared – the differences are explained and advice given….

White Paper – Large Scale Wood Chip Power Stations – are they sustainable; is there enough global forest to supply them; what will the impact be on the rainforest; are they low carbon or actually not? And will any built still be working through the years to come? ….

Ground Source Heat Pumps:

White Paper – Are Ground Source Heat Pumps an answer? – are they efficient, cost effective, low carbon or even sustainable? The cost and carbon implication are examined in detail ….

Solar PV:

Solar PV; the cost of generation & The Feed in Tariff – how expensive is PV electricity .. can you make a profit even with the FiT .. what is the impact on the Grid….

Solar PV & when does it produce power through the year? – what happens to the amount of power generated month by month and what impact does that have on it’s viability?….

Solar PV & when does it produce through each 24 hours? – a good look at how much is generated across each day through the year.. and what that means to the economics of renewable energy….

Solar PV compared with Wind – with wind being less variable than Solar, the capital costs, investment required & outputs of the two are compared – if wind is unreliable, how come PV is OK and subsidised so heavily?….

White Paper – Solar PV – is it good? – A detailed analysis of the entire system and conclusions which may be difficult to argue with….

Solar Hot Water:

Solar Hot Water – How well does it work? – maybe uncomfortable information but until we know how well it works we won’t know how to improve it….

Solar Hot Water – How well can it work? – a quick introduction to the principles of how Tranquility’s hot water bill is less than £10/yr….

White Paper – How well do existing systems work? – the first detailed report backed by a lot of data showing what current systems actually produce… and it isn’t the “up to 70%” the marketing hype would have you believe….

White Paper – And how well can it really work? – the first detailed analysis showing how the system here does what it does … and that similar performing systems will be able to be retro-fitted to nearly all houses….
