Renewable energy news from isoenergy

With the recent heatwave it is perhaps not the time to be thinking about heating, but what if your heating system could also provide comfort cooling? With a ground source heat pump it is possible to do both.

The Government Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) have facilitated the installation of 600,000 solar PV systems in the UK since 2010. However, the scheme will close to new entrants at the end of March 2019. This includes both the FiT generation payments and the export tariff.

Works are well and truly underway at Wimpole Hall with the groundworks progressing well as we make the most of the good weather.

Following two years of continued growth in the west of England and Wales, isoenergy have opened a larger western office to accommodate recent new starters in our technical and project management team.

An increasing number of people are installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger at their home or business. For many people, this is for their new electric car, others simply want to future-proof their parking. And with the Government paying towards the installation, it’s the perfect time to have an EV charger installed.

isoenergy has now started on site at the National Trust’s Wimpole Hall for the installation of a 180kW ground source heat pump system to replace its oil boilers in Wimpole Hall itself and also the Old Rectory Restaurant.

isoenergy has recently installed a three-phase domestic battery storage system consisting of three Tesla Powerwall batteries. This system allows the property to store excess electricity generated by the solar PV for use when the sun goes in or in the evening.

Renewable heating systems can be adapted to meet almost any challenge. Over the last decade, isoenergy has made a name for itself by installing bespoke, sustainable energy systems into buildings normally considered hard-to-heat.

Owners of listed buildings often approach us to find out what options they have for installing solar panels at their property. Although having panels on the roof of the house may not be appropriate, there are always alternatives.

Flowing water is a fantastic source of renewable energy. We are often asked if small water courses are suitable for generating electricity with a micro-hydro scheme. Although it might be possible to use your stream for micro-hydro, it will cost more than you think. In fact we are increasingly finding that it more economical to extract heat from the water instead and use it to heat your home.
