So the latest thing is photovoltaic panels on the roof

Some friends have recently had them installed on their house - the idea is that if the sun shines they generate electricity and sell it to EDF. This means their electric bill is reduced - they may even be self-sufficient in electricity at times. These friends got the panels installed at a special bargain rate on condition of being a reference house for others interested in doing the same.

Well on Saturday EDF rang to ask if we would be interested in having someone come and talk to us about photovoltaic panels on our roof. Since our roof is pretty big and is oriented north-south it may do quite well as roofs go. The biggest snag is that the pitch is probably not optimal, but ... well, we'll see. Apparently the government is keen to subsidise installations and EDF will then pay the rest, reclaiming the money from the price of the electricity you provide to them.

So I said that we'd be happy for them to come and look us over and tell us what they think. Why not.

I am also keen for them to come and talk about insulation and our water-heater and all sorts of other stuff, too ! Any advice they can give !
