A very Happy New Year to all my viewers! Hope you had a great time over the holidays :-)
There will be plenty of videos from me this year, but here's one for now, from Heatable (featuring me) where I recently went to check out their solar installation for one of my viewers... Was it up to scratch?

Thanks to David Orr for taking the time to write to the UK government about its plans for a renewable future for the country. You can find both his letter and the reply from the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero on this link: garydoessolar.com/desnz_letter/
Let me know what you think... Is the UK government taking things as seriously as we'd like to think?

Only a few weeks remaining for my UK viewers to be in with a chance of winning one of five £50 Amazon vouchers. Just spend 5-10 minutes sharing your solar installation experience with me (in complete confidence) before the end of October and I'll notify the winners early January.
Here's the direct link to the questionnaire:

And here's a short video explaining why I'm gathering this data:

I'd visited Jordan and the team just a few days ago then heard this! I hope they catch the b*stards soon (sorry for my language). Please can you support Jordan by watching the video, which will help create awareness so that other companies are not caught out. And if you're able to support Artisan in other ways, I'm sure Jordan would love to hear from you—thank you!

Alongside thousands of YouTubers, I’m more than happy to support MrBeast and Mark Rober in their global fundraising campaign to bring clean water to millions in underserved regions. I’m especially excited that solar technology is driving many of the sustainable solutions involved, which will transform lives.
If you'd like to make a donation as I have done, you can do so here: teamwater.org/
Just $1 will provide one person with clean water for a whole year. Thanks for your support!

Last year, I released a video highlighting the many potential red flags with carbon offset monitors—devices that promised revenue for your solar generation but screamed "scam" from the outset. The aim of the video was to hopefully save people from spending their hard-earned cash into these devices.
Fast forward to today: Rowan Energy, a company peddling such a monitor for years now, has basically vanished. Their blockchain (supposedly managing all those carbon offset certificates) was shut down at the end of last month, and the associated $RWN crypto token has tanked over 90% in value, leaving investors with worthless hardware.
Some are saying the signs point to a classic rug pull—including deleted social media, stopped payouts, and no sign of founder David Duckworth.
More detailed information is available here: web.ourcryptotalk.com/news/rowan-energy-rug-pull-e…
And many customers are understandably furious, reporting halted payments and zero support: uk.trustpilot.com/review/rowanenergy.com
Let me know if you have been caught up in this—I might make a follow-up video... me@GaryDoesSolar.com

I laid down a challenge for Tim from Tim & Kat's Green Walk recently... and he's accepted it! Check out his response video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E1hG... (pretty detailed!)

Does your home battery drain into your EV from time to time? I've got the same problem and I've decided to do something about it! It started with me realising I needed to @SpeakToTheGeekTech!

I'm planning a follow up to my wind generation video, and could do with your help please? Does anyone know if RidgeBlade is still in business? I tried contacting them, but no joy. Also, does anyone know of anyone who has such an installation on their property? Many thanks! Gary
