"I created Heat My Home in 2004 because the early solar heating industry was a wild west environment. Determined to help pioneering solar adopters, I showcased better technology while promoting more reputable installers. In 2010, I was commended for my independent contributions by the Renewable Energy Consumer Code, and delighted to report that I inspired 35,131 new installations at a time before solar panels became cool."
Some people still have an old worldview of solar panels. Then, they discover the progress made with modern photovoltaic technology. Today I will put solar panel technology on trial. In fact, modern solar panels are amazing, as I’ll prove beyond a reasonable doubt. One of the most significant injustices that the PV solar industry endured,
The benefits of installing solar panels exceed the reasons to not. This statement came from a contributing professional within our forum. The question: “are solar panels worth it” is settled. This common question gets asked less frequently with every passing year. Today’s Generation Tariff scheme with reducing the ability to decline a solar panel installation
In a verbal exchange, the wisdom of adopting solar panels was brought into question! Using my diplomatic skills, I summarised that both sides were correct. The question should have been: “Will installing solar panels on a home, be worth it?” Affordability is subjective of course, but installing a PV system shouldn’t be undertaken if it
Power My Home promotes the use of PV solar panels using enthusiasm. The benefits of photovoltaic solar panels are well-documented.

If you bought any type of technological asset, then you’ll know what I mean! Maximize PV solar panels with an export generation tariff. This is great news for households looking to reduce energy
The PV solar panel industry is going through a frenzy of demand. Demand increased because PV installations reduced as traditional expenditure has risen. PV systems cost upward of ten grand in 2010 and that’s without battery storage, tank heating, and EV-charging applications. Today, photovoltaic installations can be done for a more reasonable £5-6 grand depending
Are solar panels worth installing, I’m asked regularly? So why are solar panels worth installing? I reply, energy expenditure has risen year on year, so why wouldn’t you? After ten years of enthusiastically shouting from the rooftops about solar panels, I see a very different world from most people. Traditional energy expenditure is a short-lived
I first fell in love with PV solar technology in 2004. I’ve been answering questions from pioneering adopters and thought I’d heard them all. That was until I was asked, “If an electromagnetic pulse will affect my solar panels?” I will attempt to answer this most unusual of questions. Upon further inquiry, I discovered this
Yet another round of increasing energy prices. Either switch tariffs, wear a jumper, or invest in solar panels! These are the options to shield yourself today. The future of energy in the UK is uncertain, but what’s certain is suppliers can’t guarantee prices. Those that can afford should contemplate alternative ways to shield – long-term.
The rising costs of energy are written in stone, so why are people still not looking for ways to beat the inevitable with PV solar panels? Future predictions can come from prophets like Nostradamus or our modern age weathermen with their solar-powered satellites. You certainly don’t need billion dollar space technology or bearded renaissance wise
I’ve been singing the praises of solar panels since 2004. I’ve seen many solar companies come and go in the earliest years. I’ve seen them all from corporations like BP to smaller groups. The one thing they have in common is over-zealous and commission-hungry salespeople. Now, this is nothing unique to the solar panel industry,
While enjoying a pint on a countryside walk, I was distracted by a conversation about solar panels. A debate of the effectiveness of solar panels in the UK began. Interested to hear a stranger’s point-of-view, I earwigged whilst admiring the beautiful Welsh countryside. Resisting the urge to declare my own enthusiasm, I listened as they
A feed-in tariff incentive for solar heating panels has been announced. The Renewable Heat Incentive for solar heating is now available. Announced this week by Greg Barker of the Department of Energy and Climate Change. This is similar to an already existing PV export tariff for photovoltaic solar panels. A payment tariff of 19.2p per
