    Inverter for 16 x LG250S1C panels

    I've had a quote for a 4kWp system to include 16 x LG2501C 250W panels but the quoted inverter is a Fronious IG35 Plus. Would this be a good choice of inverter or would the Fronious IG TL 3.6 be a better choice?

    Fed up with working in the dark?

    If you do Domestic only and after some decent lighting then I can highly recommend the tripod units offered by Screwfix. For 22 quid I must say they're the mutts nuts. So much so I went and bought a second unit on the following day. They stand approx four feet high, balance nicely over...

    Upgrading Wylex re-wrirable fuses to MCBs

    Hi, I planned on replacing all the fuses in my consumer unit with MCBs. I found some on eBay for cheap which were listed as working so I got those, but the pin spacing is different to the old fuses. They didn't come with the base socket so is it just going to be a case of getting a new socket...
