    Death Knell for Solar?

    Ted has posted on the open forum about the overspend already of the Fit budget (450 million instead of the projected 200 million ) - is this the final straw? I can see a mad rush to July 1st once customers have got wind of this and a notional 5p/kwh after that using emergency powers - unless...

    Chocbox and an early death.

    What do all you peoples out there think of the Chocbox ? I for one think they totally ****, the cable entry point is ill-conceived, if you attempt to cut them out the box end splits. If you try to use them, the cable (unless it’s flex) fails to locate properly, and the wings stay open wide...

    Is this the death knell for LV fans

    Am I correct in assuming that in domestic properties as long there is RCD protection and the fans are IPX4 there is not a requirement any more for fitting LV fans in special locations. If this is the case will the manufactuers start to only produce 230 volts units?:) Regards Sparky 200
