UK Entrepreneurs for help with green energy

[ndawson293]

As many people are aware, green energy is a popular subject and many have started business in the solar field. But what about Wind.
I originally started this post to find people interested in supplying components but my research has lead me to change my mind. An idea that has been slapping me in the face these past few days but It's taken until now to realise it.

I'm looking for people who are also interested in this area to share ideas / team up to take on this market in full force.
PM me if interested

I was thinking more towards supplying parts for small scale home versions.

It dependends how much energy you want't to produce and where/how to use it. Over a year ago, I made a research for my friend company in UK about green energy products. Sure, one small wind generator with 9m wide propeller generates around 2KW of energy, while 1sq m solar panel is something 60W.
What's your business will be? Then we tested mobile phone and devices solar chargers and found those to be useless crap.

As many people are aware, green energy is a popular subject and many have started business in the solar field. But what about Wind, look at the UK for starters, wind is far more productive than solar ever will be in the climate we have.

This is not correct.. people misinterpret the amount of radiant energy that is needed for solar farms. New technology has increased the captured energy on a solar panel by 60% in just the last year. When you make bold statements like you did please give references in order to show people you know what you are talking about.

I'm working with an organization called REDONA to do a solar farm, a wind farm, and a gasification project in the US. You are getting into the right industry. All you need to do now is a little research so you'll have a better understanding as to what you are doing.

Sorry about the innaccurate statement, it was something that I read in a book on how to build a wind turbine that stated wind turbines in the UK produce far more electricity than solar panels. What I'm aiming to do is supply tradesmen and hobbyists with components and advice regarding wind turbines.

The reality is that when you read the book the statement may have been correct... It's an ever changing industry..

I think the main problem I encountered in my research was that when I'm searching the internet for information regarding wind turbines, the results are going to be biased since most likely written by wind turbine enthusiasts.

I'm sure they do in UK climate!!! You do not have a sun at all there.

After doing plenty more research, the UK is the windiest country in Europe. I think its 40% of EUs wind. Offshore UK wind has now taken over Denmark in production. It's definitely the right area to be in now.

You need to get off the internet and start looking at government publications and industry newsletters. Anyone can post information on the internet and they do. You can find some good information on this industry there but if you are serious about this you need to find organizations in your country that specialize in this stuff. Get on their mailing lists and their newsletter lists. If you want to stay ahead you'll need cutting edge information.
