Hybrid Power Generators

[briquette_seller]

Does anyone run one, or have any experience of them?

 

Seen a write up in a construction magazine, and they seem to be very impressive.

 

Any thoughts or comments?

 

Cheers in advance.

Do you mean a petrol generator running on LPG which is a conversation I fancy doing.

I've done a lot of research on these hybrid energy systems...

my conclusion, waste of time and money..

 

Whats the cheapest fuel to run your system?.. diesel?.... get a diesel generator..

New one to me that is never heard of them, Firefly to me was a distress strobe when I was out in the hills

Vespasian what did you find out about them?

nothing about these firefly thingy's..

 

Just about spending money on hybrids of anything, two systems to do what one will do fine...

 

 

Wind power, bio fuels, alternative energy all a waste of time..

 

Hybrid cars are the same, two systems when one would do fine..

The very definition of Hybrid says inefficient..

 

to be honest, I think all these hybrids are a con, they seem to have a green appeal and that seems to be their selling point..

Don't think they are all a waste of time, I got 2 solar thermal panels fitted on my place about 8 years ago, they have been brilliant, in the summer I no longer have to light my wood burner and open the windows just so that I can have a hot shower. In the winter it gives a water a nice preheat so the woodburner puts the heat quicker into the radiators rather than bringing the hot water cylinder up to 60 deg C.

Might be of use if you have no mains power and didn't want to run your genni by night.

Alternatively you could feed it from PV panels or windpower then use it to cover the dips in your supply. I expect it would make a big difference to your electricity bill. Anyone any ideas on price?
