I'm looking into complete #heating system inc #SolarPV + diverter or PVT while renovating an old property which currently lacks heating. All walls will have improved isolation but I'm not sure whether a #HeatPump is a good idea as we like it warm ~23C, so oil is the alternative. The house is mostly North facing (in SW UK), has a very old core (40cm stone walls) a less old section and two 1970's era extensions. A mixed bag! Thoughts and hashtags to follow welcome. #Renovation #Solar

This is how far behind and how much of a disadvantage Canadians are at right now domestically. Walk into Canadian Tire and you can by a 500W "kit” of 4 125W solar panels from $1199. That works out to $2.40 per Watt. Or, you can go on Alibaba as I just did... search for 400W solar, chat with a (AI Bot probably?) and be offered 36 620 watt "JinkoSolar" panels for $US 2500 plus $3000 shipping which works out to ‎$8,510.88 CAD or $0.38 per Watt. Our governments and business communities are completely failing us. We are getting fleeced. Granted I don't know if there would be import duties, but FGS the price difference is totally ridiculous. #Solar #Canada #CanPoli #CdnPoli #SolarPV #Affordability
