Just worried over the euro crisis.Its like waiting for the volcano to ERUPT! How safe are our euros in Italian banks? My account is with Unicredit (which is not Italian) Do we have any guarantee that our savings are safe?

My final question to you all.If i were to rent out during summer and winter holiday seasons/for my low cost budget of installation(not geo thermal just too expensive)Which system of heating and hot water would you suggest, to be the easiest for a person to use?

Mon, 09/27/2010 - 13:35

Very interesting once again,thanks for your comments Sablanico,Didnt understand where you said"otherwise the expected production needs to be scaled down"?My geometra is showing 9 panels on the roof which faces east,for output of 3kw The house is more or less of 2up and 2down of approx 120sqm Would you say this would be sufficient or not?

Mon, 09/27/2010 - 13:24

Thanks for the info Badger,will sit and read this site tonight and try to digest what to do!!?? Maybe we should all take a VOTE yes i should go ahead with solar panels or no not to go ahead.

Sun, 09/26/2010 - 15:53

Very good angle you have put on the solar panels for free debate,Thanks Capo Boi.You have given me a very different outlook on cost effectiveness,so much to consider  and if i should go for it ? !

Sun, 09/26/2010 - 15:44

Thanks for that Badger,Now i am not confused but must admit that i have never heard of this system back in England.

Sun, 09/26/2010 - 15:20

Thanks again Allan,Its starting to make more sense but so much to consider.The solar water system sounds a good consideration.Your friends system sounds too expensive for my budget.Grateful for your reply.Atessa.

Lots to think about thanks Sagariasolar Now a few technical questions on installation,How many do you need of these panels on the roof for 5kw?Would they fit along the length of my roof of approx 11.50m?and is the weight a consideration? With my limited budget maybe we should go for emmersion water heater.The energy co doesnt get power back if you have evacuated tubes/if you did install them, but by not useing the emmersion,.you are putting more energy back to the energy co.?This would also be a cost saveing/This i think  is what you are saying.This is such a dilemma!!Lots to discuss with my geometra!

Sat, 09/25/2010 - 17:36

Once again great information,thanks Badger.My budget is very limited thats why free energy/installation is so appealing.For heating the water (air/water unit)do mean evacuated tube panels? Or with 5kw go for electric boiler for heating water?

Sat, 09/25/2010 - 17:12

Thanks for that allan.It does seem that just for power only we would need more than 3kw and probably 5kw that your friends have introduced.How do they get hot water? Did they sign up with the bank? Is it for free?
