    Some pics of my 'other' job - just for fun.

    These three were Friday night at Lowlands festival (Holland). Roughly 100kW of lights on that stage. And this was V Fest Chelmsford the next day. Also did Stafford but no pics.

    Inverter and panel prices

    Just wandered what people are using for their inverter choice as a budget option? I've seen some good prices on Steca inverters recently and they look great. Anything else? While were at it, what about panel prices? It sounds like some companies are heading down towards 50p/w

    When do you actually do the paperwork?

    Hi Just a question here regarding testing and certification. If you got called to a house to replace a socket that had its casing cracked or you put a lovely new B&Q chandelier up for someone would you then do a minor works Cert + Si + STR? Seems a little overkill to me If you don't what's...

    How many kW have you installed in Feb?

    Well... Jan was really a slow start, but ever since the announcement on 9th Feb, it has gone a little crazy. How many kW's have you guys managed to install or get booked in before the 3rd of March?

    Assessment on Friday.

    I've opted for the ever popular CU change at home for my assessment Friday. So I started with a Wylex rat's nest, changed it for a nice Hager which should do the job. Then blood sweat and tears getting the gas bonding through, during which I discovered some 'alternative' junction boxes under the...

    If you were to go to an installation

    If you were to go to an installation and think "I don't like the look of this old board, but I'll use a separate board via Henley Blocks' or similar, would you be OK just noting on the paperwork that the original installation is a bit ****e? I mean, you wouldn't then become responsible for that...

    Peak Short Circuit Current value on the SSEG form.

    I've looked at the easy MCS guide on here, and it's not clear, (in my eye's) to what value you place in the part where it asks for this. I've done a pscc test at the AC isolator with my fluke, and it's giving me a reading of 600A. Is this what they want? There's no mention of it on the SMA...

    DNO Help

    We had decided that we were just going to install domestic pv systems but have been asked to price for 3 x 40kwp systems in the last 10 days. It seems rude to ignore these requests :D but I'm a bit worried about the whole DNO situation and associated costs. At the minute I've got a farm and a...
