Regards,
Ross-Barry.

Check out this video to know more about nurdles. http://youtu.be/57_KdKrJKeM

Can’t wait to visit Eigg and hopefully see around the system. One question, if the output from each individual is 5Kw how can the total be 60 Kw. Alos is the current coverted to AC at the inverter or at the transformer stage?
Great site !!

I would be interested in a few more statistics, such as; average energy produced per year; percentage contributions of the hydro, wind, solar, and diesel generators to the yearly energy output; grid voltage and maximum power rating; number of houses and businesses served; cost of energy to consumers.
