    EPC New Build

    I intend to flag this up at the next MCS technical steering group meeting as well. Not that MCS has any jurisdiction, but the steering group were to agree to write to DECC & OFGEM to raise the issue and request that they address it, then it's possible that it might get resolved. Ofgem has the...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    why are people still telling other people to get over it? This is the biggest decision to happen to this country in decades, it's already having a massive impact on our business, and the decisions now being taken behind closed doors will go on having a huge impact on our lives for decades to...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    maybe not, but when the remain campaigners were pointing out what would inevitably happen in the event of a brexit vote they were met with accusations of this being part of project fear etc. As you say, it was inevitable, and there was a case to have been made for a reduction in the pound's...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    The pound has fallen about 12% since brexit, and 25% since the start of the year against the Euro due to the uncertainty around Brexit before the vote. Construction was down 1.4% in the quarter since Brexit, Manufacturing down 0.4% (it had grown at 2.1% the previous quarter so that's a fair...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    On what terms did the will of the people say we should leave the EU? The government aren't really there because of the will of the people, they were elected by something like 24% of the potential electorate, in large part because they for £10 million more in donations than Labour, largely from...

    SunPower E20 with P300 SolarEdge Power Optimizer?

    That's a more serious issue than the inverter size, particularly as it'd breach the warranty, but also as it's presumably going to be drawing power from the panels at a less efficient voltage point than it should be. That is a remove and replace under warranty situation in my opinion.

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    it's very rare that I do this, but here's Margaret Thatcher's take on the dangers of referendums, which we're now witnessing. The idea that a referendum on a very broad question should then give the leader a mandate to basically do whatever they want within that broad mandate without any...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    That's taken from the AV referendum, it's the section that made that referendum a binding referendum. There's no similar section or provision in the EU referendum legislation, without it the referendum is a non-binding referendum and would require a separate act of parliament to actually put...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    That's from the 1972 treaty, which basically states that any change to any of the EU Treaties, or new Treaties or agreements with the EU can only be entered into following approval by both houses of parliament. Nothing in the referendum legislation did that, and it can't be done via statutory...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    If the EU is such a wonderful success... bit of a straw man start to the post. why has the EU got the 2nd lowest growth in the entire world? Austerity. Why has the pursuit of the Euro for all new entrants been continued as its clear for everybody to see that its a failed project as the...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    it won't be overturned, their legal ruling is a correct interpretation of the law, as was completely clear in the terms of the original referendum legislation. Parliament will make the final decision be it to accept May's proposals, amend them, reject them, or send the final proposals back to...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    There were many contradictory claims and statements made in the campaign, many argued that we could leave the EU and still either be in the common market, have access to the common market or be part of a Europe wide tariff free, free trade area. They also variously claimed that none of the...

    Brexit court defeat for UK government

    I find it a little odd to see those who a few months ago were no doubt banging on about bringing sovereignty back, and the undemocratic nature of the EU now frothing at the mouth about the notion that the UK's democratically elected representatives (at least) should have a vote on the...

    4.57Kw PV with a 4Kw inverter. Inverter too small?

    yes it's a normal set up. Panels are rated under standard test conditions at 25degreesC and 1000W/m2 light, in full sunlight they usually reduce efficiency by around 0.45% per degree above this, so in full sun would be expected to peak at least 10% below their nominal rating due to temperature...

    Problems with Series/ Parallel strings not adding ampage.

    if it's dual MPPT inverter then it may well work on one side, and if you've got 2 strings the right way round, 1 the wrong way around then this would end up with it looking to the inverter as if it's got a single positive string. I've heard too many electricians tell me it's definitely not...

    Problems with Series/ Parallel strings not adding ampage.

    you've probably wired several of the strings in reverse polarity. The answer to these types of questions is usually reverse polarity, I'd triple check that before doing anything else. I know it sounds basic, but it happens to the best of us, so it's always the first thing I triple check even...

    Solar PV Module characteristics

    all depends on the sunlight levels. If in full sun perpendicular to the panel then you've got a problem, but that's unlikely to be the case in november.

    Pv install

    the v phase VO unit can only handle something like 16 or 20A, which will be why only certain parts of the system will run through it. tbh you could probably rip it out for all the good it will probably be doing..... ;)

    EPC New Build

    yes that's pretty much it - we don't connect the final wire into the inverter just to be on the safe side with the EPC assessor, so it's clearly not commissioned. royal pain in the rear end.

    Tesla Solar Roof

    not to put a dampener on it or anything, but those sorts of solar tiles have been tried before, but were discontinued because the lamination at the edges wasn't robust and broke down after a few years in the elements with no frame to hold it together. I see no reason to think that tesla will...
