A talk and discussion by Damon Blakemore and Rob Ritchie about

How to best Integrate and Control your Solar panels, Batteries, Heat pumps, Hot water, EV charging, and Grid connections to your best advantage.

As we add extra parts to our home energy, it can be complicated and puzzling getting them all to work well and efficiently together. There are multiple variables including grid tariffs, your lifestyle, weather, personal preferences, export tariffs, etc so the controls need to personalised and effective to ensure that one gets the best value for money from one's system.

Damon Blakemore of Blakemore Heating and Plumbing whose heat pump installation has a COP of 5 is reported in an article by Mary Richards in Grand Designs Magazine in April 2024.

Damon will explore this subject with Rob Ritchie who is a homeowner in Sheffield who has had a system installed by Damon and is also a semi-retired chemistry-textbook author. He has spent time monitoring and fine tuning his system. They will talk about the multiple available options, apps and control systems to provide an individualised solution and how they approach and solve this knotty problem. There will be plenty of time for your questions.

The Hope Valley Climate Action Energy Group looks forward to you joining us for what should be an interesting evening.
