My biggest machine is my panel saw which has a 5kw 3 phase motor and I run a 3/4 kw dust extractor and a few lights at the same time . Probably max at any one time of 6kw

 

Thats ok the system I am looking at is 5 kwe with peak 10 kwe or multiples of that. Prices are still being sorted so will let you know when I know

You said this 12 months since, is it getting any nearer???

 

Hi Skyhuck

It is most definitely NOT 12 months ago that I posted that, more like 3 or 4, but you know what its like, these things always take a bit longer than you want or think. I am hoping to get the designs within 2 weeks so should be able to give more info in the near future. The trials are giving better results than we had ever hoped for so it will be coming.

I have already placed my order for the first one.

Apologies, I've just looked and it was 6 months ago that you said it, and in fact at that time you said it would be out in 12 months not 6, so your actually still on track, sorry

 

Sounds really good, I would love one!!!

Is it to fit into the government micro chp scheme if so it will only be 1kwe.

 

I am under the impression that microgeneration is up to 50kWe, but am happy to be corrected.

Within 6 months there will be a new design of biomass pellet boiler doing exactly the same thing as that. Producing heat and electric. Designs for the units are almost done and once they are, production begins.

It will be announced on here as soon as they are available.

A good friend of mine told me exactly the same thing 5 years ago.
