So my Q is this, has anyone got any real life experience of how panels will produce under cloud or shade, eg as a % of normal max output. They have said they can split the array so the half of the roof which gets more shade won't cut down the output from the better side, as I understand output is l...

Lead Acid batteries have been around for quite some time, are very cheap and easy to maintain - however, they still have many drawbacks compared to other, more expensive and complex battery technologies. However last year, taking the information known about the newer makes of Super Capacitors and co...

This is just to ask if there would be any interest in a potential informal meet-up of some of us in South Wales and how many people we would be able to get as well as where in the area would be best for people geographically and what is the current talent we have down here - just checking as I'm not...

Hi, being as it is now 2014, and the cost of such Super Capacitors coming down, with technological development of these, as well as greater capacities of 350F, 400F (and possibly much higher) being commercially available, with only 6x 350F Super Capacitors in series being required to act in place of...

I understand - hope things do get moving for you in that regard and I look forward to when these meetings are able to recommence

Hoping this isn't off-topic Kevin (forgive me as a newbie ) but is there any events near to South Wales that you know of, as I would like to get together with other BVS members locally (even if I have to travel to Bristol to meet them)

Found this today about a new type of chemical battery being developed called a Flow Battery that has mainly been used in large-scale renewable grid energy storage. It mentions that until recently these were only available as more expensive models due to the cost of vanadium. However they are startin...
