At least you didn’t have to climb onto a roof, lack of maintenance is certainly a killer.

With my 2.4 kW system I generated 1.74MWh total for last year, so far this year I have generated 1.72MWh with just less than 3 weeks to go in the year it will end up as almost exactly the same. During the summer I do get shading from a tree at about 5pm, so right at the end of the day my...

Ahh the good old days of the spinning wheel meter, I remember mine fondly of how on a sunny day my solar panels would make it spin backwards, I did declare it on my solar notification form to the DNO, I did get about 18months of backward spinning.

Test it with a moving coil meter like an old AVO 8 and I bet it would be fine, As Dave says your meter like most digital meters are over sensitive.

Sorry not going to be much help re comparison with your neighbours system but if I was just looking at the figures for yours they look ok to me, I have a south facing 2.4kW system and I generated 2.1kWh of electric yesterday. The winter months my expectations of the systems are low and I have...

Not much load on the control circuit, a rule of thumb for us at work was control circuits used to be on 2A fuses, of course this was only a generalisation and situations did alter that. So depending on what type of fuse carrier you have and expected load, but around about 2A is going to be...

Where about roughly in the country are you, you never know if you are near one of us you might get a visit on the way past😀

Powder not recommended for indoor use. CO2 all the way for me.

@Murdoch I’ve got some spare fuse carriers for that if you need them😀

The other thing that gets overlooked is that oil and gas is the base product for more things than just power generation and internal combustion engines. For example all the vegan plastic shoes that the green protesters are bound to be wearing is made from ethylene gas from the North Sea, in fact...

Hi Tom Fully supportive of you getting involved with energy installation processes at Uni, and hopefully some of the solar guys might pass on some of their experiences, sorry I can’t help as I was an industrial spark. Just out of interest though, do any of you take on a more pro active hands on...

About 15 years ago for Christmas my wife got me log splitter which is what I asked for, fitted with a 13 A plug. Went to use it and plugged it into an extension, it blew the fuse in the extension, so just out of interest I checked the fuse on the log splitter mmmm a bit lump of wire just wrapped...

Yip dimples were put on fittings to enable a little bit of cooling, I remember reading some safety articles in the 1980s about fittings that didn’t have the dimples starting house fires due to overheating when screwed straight onto wooden ceilings, of course time and alcohol may be playing...

Any I have seen or had dealings with were / are from the small garage type consumers units with a RCD and a MCB which was Henley blocked after the meter.
