Home Solar and Battery systems with Phil Bull
Overview
A plain-English exploration into a topic which baffles many.
Have rising energy bills and concern about climate change tempted you to invest in a home solar PV system and maybe a battery too? In this talk, Phil will seek to de-mystify a subject that people have told him they find confusing. He will describe his own system, his experience of running it over the past five years and will quantify its behaviour. He will talk about things he has learned, some of which would have been nice to know before he embarked on his “green adventure”.
Our Speaker
Phil Bull is a member of the Martlesham Climate Action group and DCC who has presented on this topic at various climate events. He has spoken with many system owners and prospective owners at these events, from which some common questions (and myths) have emerged. He is not a solar systems professional, but from his own experience and from discussions at these events he has distilled some key considerations for those thinking about installing a system. Phil is a retired engineer who worked as a researcher at BT’s Labs at Martlesham Heath for several decades. He is a member of the IET.
Phil is a retired research engineer, having had a career of 47 years in the communications industry. His extensive R&D experience was in a range of domains including digital homes, smart energy metering, broadband and advanced diagnostics systems. Phil has been taking steps to reduce home energy consumption and become “greener” for some years. He believes that technology is most effective for most people when it is hidden in the background and made easy to use. He is a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
