Had a email from a customer after chasing EON for the FIT payment and threatening to cut them off....they have now said the amount generated is too high. My customer is blaming me for installing a system that is too efficient this is from a BBQ summer......
I have a customer that is more in love with solar than I am. We originally installed a 3.68kW back in July and have just upgraded her to an 8kW.
Had permission from the DNO for the 8kW but she wants to go bigger. Apparently she is having a competition with one of her friends on who can get the...
If FIT payments were only for 15 or 20 years would this help with spending cap?
I was thinking of asking Greg Barker, via my MP, if he had considered reducing the period in which FITs are paid. In my experience most customers only really care about payback and simple ROI so if it went down to...
here's one example. table 4d4a column 3 for 240mm2 shows 409amps/3phase.
at 380Y/220v thats = 155KW.
NEC table 310.16 for 75 degree C wire, 500MCM [thats 253 mm2] allows 380 amps/3phase.
at 208Y/120v thats = 79KW.

Hi all I'm currently looking to join a governing body carrying out just domestic work.
I want a scheme that will enable me to do everything domestically, ie major re-wires and sign my own work off.

I'm having a career change and want to be a sparks, but going down the domestic installer route first, doing a few courses alongside my current job. Plan is to go part time with the current work and find an electrician to work for during my time off.
In the meantime, I'm going to sign up for a...

They have all disappeared on a recall. But Wylex wont say what the problem is. Nor will they allow you to take back one you have brought. Anyone know more?

Hi Chaps.
I know that if you are qualified as a 'domestic installer', although you can do installation work and issue certificates, you are still not qualified to do 'Periodic Inspections' on 'dwellings' unless you also have 2391..
But how about 2392? does this also qualify you to do...
