Now that's how to protest.
Why have one tit in No.10, when you can have two.
Isn't that good of them? Offering a £5k grant towards what must be a £15k install.

Seems to me as if it's offering it to those who could install it if needed anyway. That's fine if they're only showing people the carrot. If they take the stick out then it'll leave a lot of people facing the costs but unable to do anything about them.It's only for people who are interested. Nobody is getting forced into it.
Seems this is confirmed.
I was peripherally involved in something called Project Sunshine a few years ago, that was looking at solar panel materials and efficiency. The basic premise was there's enough solar energy hitting a square meter at the equator in an hour to power a whole metropolis for a week. We just have to get smarter at capturing it.
Agree that we need to get better at capturing it but not sure about a square meter being enough to power a whole metropolis for a week. Modern solar panels usually get around 15-20% effieciency of converting. Sure that's right?

I can't find that document at the moment; but they use a slightly different version of the premise here: "capturing all the energy in just one hour's worth of sunlight would enable us to meet the planet's food and energy needs for an entire year" (www.amazon.co.uk/Project-Sunshine-science-fuel-world/dp/1848315139)
My house hasn’t got big enough garden for a ground source heat pump nor has it got underfloor heating, so would those air source heat pumps be able to keep family as warm as gas powered combi-boiler if we get another hunk of burning love From The East during the winter?
Hmm...I think your maths are wrong here.

a square meter all the way round the equator?
