they reckon it can produce at 40% of the cost that EAC sells at.

Hope it works.

Are you kidding me? This technology is more than 20 years old. :lol:


So why is not widely used?

Can it be economically built small enough to sit on a roof and run a whole house?


Nah, I think you will find it is big stuff.

It's much better to opt for a 6 kWe PV and an efficient electric heat pump. :wink:
