Site Planning Tool

[nikcross]

I am currently trialling a site planning tool for Solar PV and Wind Turbine installations.

The tool looks up resources for your location and compares estimated generation with estimated consumption and combines this with the Clean Energy Cash Back scheme tariffs to give a financial projection.

I would really like feedback from as many people as possible to help me improve and develop the service.

The tool is available on line with a couple of feedback forms here

If you don't want to give feed back, but just want to play try here

well............ says he pushing his hat back on his head, and whistling ominously..........
Where do I start? Is this blatant spam? (to my knowledge noone has politely asked for permission to tout their site), and an initial quick squint and footle with the "windpower" thingummyjiggler would suggest that it's inaccurate, misleading, and generally rather a naive "crock"-  displaying a marked lack of knowledge of the subject.
Ally to that the fact it's not even up and running, but there's already "give us yer money" links on the site, I am tempted towards the "it's some web types trying to make a few swift bob out of the renewables market, about which they visibly know diddly-squat!"
My finger is hovering over the "nuke the spam and spammer" button...............

unless I am experiencing deja vu, which does happen sometimes, I seem to remember this poster from the recent past. Was he trying to punt a similar thing for wind a few months back as well?

well remembered! - 2 posts, decidedly of the spam variety!
There is a rash of websites appearing exhorting people to "cash in" on renewables, usually displaying little or no knowledge of the subject, and visibly geared towards "skimming a profit" - usually by variations on the "give us all your details, we'll give you free advice" scam, then flogging the same details to dodgy foot-in-the-door companies to use as "leads"
