I love pv’s. I have a 72 watt array on my shed roof. They charge up a 12 volt van battery that i use to run strip lights, my laptop, mobile phone, sony psp, portable freeview tv, charge nimh batteries of all shapes n sizes and anything else i can plug in to a cigar lighter socket. I can use my mains inverter to run small household appliances too. Its the way forward for sure!
Its been in place for 2 years now & not once has the battery gone flat

The Government need to introduce a system of feed in tariffs so householders and businesses can realise a return on their investment. How much UK renewables manufacturing could the Government underwritten with all that money they wasted bailing out Northern Rock?
