    Certification of a few different jobs.

    If a customer asks me to do a few jobs. E.g. Add some spots, add a socket and put a fan in a bathroom. As the only job notifiable to the labc would be the fan as its in a special location. Would you MW all jobs separately or all as one EIC and then let the building control deal with what's what?

    Out of interest - How would you register the MCS certifcate for an install

    Just wondered how it is possible to register and installation with a variety of panels? For example, with solar edge / micro inverters you can have multiple panels. On my install I have Hyundai and Suntech on different strings but MCS only asks for a single panel type. So how would you do this?

    cheap underground joint for different cables

    I need to joint a 2.5/3 SWA to a 1.5mm HO7 then bury it. Don't need to worry about glanding the armour as it's good the other end (I suppose I could bond it to the cpc if we're being picky). A 'proper' expensive IPX7+ box is a bit OTT for the job, and a SWA joint kit might not like the twiddly...
