Just wondered if any one on here is going for mcs accreditation for wind turbines.As the fit rate seems more favourable over pv.
 
I was wondering what to do next myself. i just scrapped back the money it cost me starting the PV also the stress getting my MCS in time and getting the 43p for the two customers i had at the time. a plumber i know is going on the ground and air source heat pumps course this week(got it free) .

one other thing is i lost my QMS about 6 months ago also the backup, havent even bothered to put it back together just dont think its worth it, trouble is i spent so much time getting MCS i dont want to let it go as you never know and im sure its easy to bolt on another technology, but its another £600 i havent got on top of my £400 for NICEIC.

was also thinking of the electric car charging.

this green stuff aint going away soon but can believe how hard it is to get into.

Cheers

Like a lot of the renewables, there just doesn't seem enough demand out there.

As a potential customer, I've been repeatedly given the impression that wind doesn't work well on land - not even where I live in East Anglia; windmill country - there are several former windmills within a few miles of me (now mostly used for residential).
But I've also been told by many that solar is a gimmick too, so there may be a lot of misinformation out there.
 
There's a gizmo on the MCS site that tells you from your postcode whether wind will be a worthwhile investment for you. Nowhere round my neck of the woods is worth it but then again, in Geordieland the sun always shines:)

Location, Location, Location.... , i've done a couple on east coast of kent. and gross payback was ridiculously quick much better than solar... Not for the feint hearted though. Maintenance will be much higher. Planning permission will take ages, and potentially dead money, and you have the same problems with DNO etc.

I'd love to go into wind, but there is just not enough demand for it to make it worthwhile, you end up chasing dead ends all over the country.
