    Misleading Sunday Times Article on PV

    Just received this from the STA: "Many of you will have read the recent Sunday Times article in the Money section titled “Has the sun set on solar power?”. This is a very frustrating and biased article, riddled with errors, misstatements and in some cases, misrepresentation, in particular...

    Stupid Dail Mail article

    When people complain about Daily Mail articles I normally smile, thinking they are PC loonies or lefty loonies who should get a life. But the Mail has published an article by Colin Dunne today about solar panels which really is complete and utter nonsense. Don't fall for the solar panel...

    two installations, one earth rod

    A customer of mine has two installations (self contained barn coversions) connected to the same earth electrode. Each consumer unit has a 16mm cable connected to the same rod. I cant help thinking this is poor practice, but what regs does it break, if any?

    Prospective Fault Current

    I was under the impression that PFC is the greater of either the PEFC or the PSSC. Now look at this article (endorsed by the NIC) on Voltimum.... Voltimum Q&A I am assuming that the guy's tester is indicating over-range on the PSSC measurement. Apart from the fact that the way it is written...

    FITS review - stand alone systems

    Just been scanning through my early morning reading material and came across an article in Roofing Today about the FITs review. In this article, it claims that Stand Alone Systems will only receive 9p per kWh after August 2011. Surely this is incorrect as I've not heard anything about this...
