Powerspout+Solar+Battery= the perfect combination.















I've posted a video on Youtube for those who want to know the 'length and breadth' of my home's energy system.

You can find it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rmYOUQAVTk 

You'll need 20 minutes to view it all, and it comes in HD.

I'll add a link to the side bar of this blog for future access.

Addendum: added 23 April 2024

In response to people wanting to know the cost of the battery storage scheme, below is a breakdown. The numbers are in pounds sterling (GBP).

The costs given include VAT at 20% (the installation was done before the UK Government decided to exempt retrofitted battery storage schemes from the 20% rate).

Hi Bill, great job! Something about Pelton turbines gets in our blood. I suppose you know about the mammouth Bieudron turbines at 420 MW they provide the highest power density of any large scale generation technology. We believe PV, Pelton turbines and pumps are all that is needed, drop me a line by WhatsApp and I will share our 130 m head project in Spain.
Cheers,
