    Solar installations roof work

    Possibly a silly question, I would like to do solar but I really don't like being on roofs, and don't fancy cutting roof tiles and all that stuff. Is it possible to have someone else install the panels under supervision and then do the electrical connecting and setup myself? Thanks, Chris.

    Internet suppliers

    I am thinking of giving up my local suppliers, and getting most of my materials form internet suppliers. They appear to have much better prices. I find that with local suppliers the cost somehow keeps mounting up and there is a great big nasty bill at the end of the month. Anyone else use...

    Martindale ET4000 MFT any good?

    Anyone got a Martindale ET4000? I was thinking of getting one but looks like it only does 3 wire loop testing although it has some useful features. If anyone has one I'd be interested to know how good or bad it is. Thanks.

    Planning guide magazine promo.

    Has anyone used the www.planningguide.co.uk ? Had a visit from the rep the other day. A bit too expensive for me at about £1k for 2 years but seems well established and looks like it could be a source of work.

    Screwfix site light

    I got a tripod twin LED site light from Screwfix for £39 but I find the tilt adjustment is really naff. You have to undo two tiny philips screws to adjust it. I am going to try and modify it with wing nuts & shakeproof washers.
