    I hope all is well for both of you. Life is often full of challenges. I've had some myself, as have many people. I always think there are people worse off than me, and people better off than me. Such is life

    Sewing machine query - capacitor requirements

    I would try and get a replacement. Better than risking it injecting noise or transients on to your mains wiring.

    You need to pass the job on to someone who is competent and up to speed with solar installs and regulations .
