    Solar rooftop bridging ladder

    Ok, yep, manoeuvring 30kg whilst clipped into a ladder would be difficult. Combined with a platform of some type, I'm still not sure if the benefits of having the ladder are sufficient to justify the cost & burden of storing/transporting, manoeuvring it.

    Possible causes for these I-V curve's

    Possibly answering my own question - irradiance was low and there was some shading on some of the panels from a nearby tree during the test. I suspect shading maybe the culprit.

    Possible causes for these I-V curve's

    Tested 2 strings today (twice) & each time string 1 had poor fill factor. Any ideas what may be the cause of this type of result?

    Anyone own a Fluke 1735

    Happy days, If anyone was interested, turns out 1 pcb is just power socket, some filtering & Bridge rectifier, possibly battery monitor/charger, the other is UART to USB converter with USB socket. Should be able to make new pcb's. There's still the gamble something else maybe wrong with the unit...

    95mm cable entry into switch fuse

    Thanks, checked with SSEN who say they do not have any specific requirements on meter tails and trust the accredited electrician carrying out the work is competent to select the correct part. Unfortunately, they were unable to confirm if their meter terminals are rated for 90 Deg C, does anyone...

    95mm cable entry into switch fuse
