bluegen cost may not be a problem, page-2

Good effort for trying so long to run a stand alone solar setup!

Your requirement (bottled gas) is a niche market - CFU is more interested in targeting the mass market of Europe where mains gas is the norm. One of the issues with Bluegen is it has a cycle up and cycle down period where it cannot lose it's gas supply. If the gas from the bottle suddenly cut out there would be damage to the fuel cell. (As I understand it)

I don't want to tell you how to suck eggs, as you have 20 years experience in running a solar generator but there are households on 1.5kW systems that have a net positive feed in - so you must be running a big house not to be going OK with 3 times the capacity! I appreciate that previously you did not have the mains to cover you at night but you have got battery backup... I'm assuming you use high efficiency appliances and low wattage LED bulbs.

On another note the full year report looks encouraging - if we secure the anticipated sales for next year we can't be far off breaking even.
