So unfortunately we can't go ahead with solar panels at this time. We will of course continue to use Good Energy's 100% renewable power, I don't know any other landlord who's willing to do this rather than just going for the cheapest deal available. At 48 Rousham Road, I (the landlord) pay the bills, so I have a vested interest in ensuring that the house is energy efficient. The house is already double-glazed and quite well insulated, heated by an efficient modern gas boiler and uses low energy light bulbs everywhere. I've just ordered additional insulation for the loft, and this year I swapped the electric cooker for gas (lower CO2 emissions from cooking) and added an extractor hood over the cooker (to save the need to open windows to clear the air, which wastes a lot of heat in the winter). I'm also planning some internal wall insulation for the larder area of the kitchen.
