Anyone know anything about these, or the technology employed ? I dunno,
but it feels like one of those "If it seems too good to be true ... "
things. Or is it just another company jumping on the eco-bollox bandwagon ?


Sounds like a variation on the rent your roof scheme so that suppliers
of the kit can reap the rewards of feed in tariffs etc.


Problem is that is shifts yet more of our generation capacity to gas at
a time where they are bleating about carbon reduction.


You are missing the point.
The point is, it recovers otherwise wasted heat and generates
electricity at point of use so making the overall process very
efficient.


What wasted heat? Modern boilers are so efficient there is very little
waste heat. The flue exhaust temperature is typically under 60 degrees.
The laws of thermodynamics ought to tell you how much use that will be
for secondary generation.

You still don't get it?
It is about converting cheap gas to expensive electricty in the home
and using the left over heat (Normally waste) to heat the home..
