Damian Culshaw, another satisfied customer says " I used your Green Action account for my Navitron Solar Panel, which is now tuned and working well, when the sun shines.  The immersion heater insert-approach is fine and gets the hot water where you need it!  If anyone else is thinking of this, they really need to use the TDC3 Controller, not a simple one.  I would be happy to give tips on how to set up the controls."  e-mail:  Damian

Grants for renewables
The Government scheme for providing householders with grants towards the cost of installing renewable energy generation systems has been massively oversubscribed (these days each month's allocation is gone by about midday on the first of the month - be warned).  The scheme has been revamped and the maximum (theoretical) grant has been reduced but the scheme has been redesigned to try to ensure that more people get support.
