Frequently Asked Questions
A domestic, or home wind turbine, is a device that can turn wind energy into clean electricity for your home. It’s like a miniature version of the much bigger wind turbines you’ve likely seen around the UK, in fields, or just off the coast. The basic science is the same, but home wind turbines are more compact.
Can I have a Wind Turbine installed at my property? This is something we can only answer once a site visit has been completed.
This is not a straightforward question as will depend on a number of factors such as – Single Phase or 3 Phase – Single Phase is capable of over 7Kw/h and 3 phase is capable of 22kw/h but not all cars charge at the same rate on AC! Most cars have an inbuilt inverter that limits them to 11kw/h and most domestic supplies are only single phase. Some chargers also allow you to limit the charge to how much excess solar you are producing (Assuming you have solar!)
In a word – No. Not all EV chargers are the same and you need to know what kind of plug your car has or will come with. Currently in the UK there are 2 different types and these are either – Type 2 Charger – The IEC 62196 Type 2 connector (often referred to as mennekes in reference to the company that originated the design) is used for charging electric cars, mainly within Europe. This is the most commonly used charger plug in the UK. Chademo – CHAdeMO is the trade name of a fast-charging system for battery electric vehicles, developed starting in 2010 by the CHAdeMO Association, formed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company and five major Japanese automakers.[1] The name is an abbreviation of “CHArge de MOve” (which the organization translates as “charge for moving”) and is derived from the Japanese phrase “o CHA deMO ikaga desuka” (おちゃでもいかがですか), translating to English as “How about a cup of tea?”, referring to the time it would take to charge a car.[1]
Renew-Able Solutions want to make any installation as easy as possible and as part of this we will apply for either G98, G99 or G100 to the DNO and any work will not be able to start until this has been completed and accepted by the DNO. Scottish Power is the DNO in Scotland and you can read a little more about the differences in each application and what they mean.
Each and every install is different and no definitive amount of time can be given due to a number of factors such as but not limited to – Size of Solar Array Ease of Access Unforeseen issues that would’ve been impossible to have been known prior to install
