The Renewables Podcast

We have the privilege of Steve Humphries Napit, Steve Devine Electric safety first, Darren Crannis ECA, Tony Woodland NICEIC and John Southern ESA join us live at installershow to chat about Island mode, balcony solar and plenty more.This is a chat we loved and will be doing something similar at Solar and Storage NEC 2026. Thanks to all for collaborating with us around the big topics of industry and sharing expertise with us and our listeners. We massively appreciate it and enjoyed it even more!

We get into the role AC can play in the world of renewables and wider health! Check TIS out here https://www.testinstrumentsolutions.co.uk/

We get into more conversations with other installers, exhibitors and much more in episode 2 from installershow 2026!

We visit installershow with a series of videos from the event! This one with chats among installers, Tradefox, Farizon, Luthmore, ENA, Fire Break and Dan Bryant!

We get into a conversation about Island mode fault protection which leans heavily into earthing. Referencing a great article from Steve Humphreys at Napit in the Professional Electrician Magazine for June 2026 (p39). This is a tricky nut to crack in all cases much like lots of the PV and battery issues. Always happy to share our views, right, wrong, good or bad!

We are joined by the legend that is Cory OY electrical for a chat about solar battery and way more!

We also learn about Sams helicopter....

We get into the perfect storm around solar PV and battery storage systems. With prices and tariffs playing towards system benefits beyond the normal. Let us know what you think in the comments
