    3680W DNO Limit affecting System Choice

    Having room for 16 south facing panels I got hung up on efficiencies and started to look at 16 of the Sanyo HIT-N240SE10 panel making a 3.84KW system. I was recommended for similar money to go for 17 of the HIT-N235SE10 panel as this would be 3.95KW. Yet from a configuration point of view 16...

    Choice of smilies in Quick Replys

    Gotta say the selection seems bizarre. It is nice to have lots available, but when lots aren't presented for selection, as when using a quick reply, surely it should be the basic ones you get - wink/smile/grin/laugh/sad/oops etc? Just my 2p worth...

I have heard and read some negative comments on the Sharp panels recently but have not seen any data/ proof to back these comments up. However, this has got us thinking we...

    Choice of cable for outside lights.

    What type of cable is best suited for outside lights, bearing in mind I do not want to use SWA or cable in conduits; just clip on to external wall, exposed to all elements of nature. Any feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If a 3 phase circuit has a total load of 54A ie 18A per phase is the choice of a BS88 fuse from the 0.4 sec table 41. because its below 32A or the 5 secs table 41.4 because the total load is above 32A
