    My solar array doesn't seem to generate enough energy

    Hi, I've recently had a 4KW PV array fitted in March this year however I don't believe it's producing the expected results. Yesterday 29/06/2019 was the hottest day so far with cloudless skies and the system at noon peaked at 2.2KW. I would expect to achieve around my peak which is set at 3.8KW...

    Afternoon all, I have just been to do a quote for an elderly lady to remove a cable from under a stone driveway. Her neighbours jacked up her car and moved it off her driveway, then made a channel in her driveway, then laid their cable across her driveway to their garage. They gave her...

    "Posting a message to the forum will remove the above advertisement"... No it doesn't

    Adverts are not the problem. I totally understand using them as a revenue stream for the forum, however the big banner ad at the top of the screen is starting to get ridiculous. Yesterday, I was told by the advert that Match Of The Day presenter Gary Linekar had been arrested, no details, but...

    Bosch Oven doesn't want to play

    I took the fan motor off a working Bosch built in electric oven to replace it, and now the heating element does not switch on, though if I switch the mains cooker wall switch I can hear a relay click in the control panel, so there is power going to it. The only two contacts I touched were the...

    Zs-Ze = R1+R2 - doesn't it?!

    Hi all. The title is a slight red-herring to provoke a response.... Looking through previous threads here and elsewhere tells me that the formula in the title just isn't true - that you cannot just measure Zs at a socket outlet (live test) and subtract a measured Ze to get an R1+R2 value for...

    What routing techniques do CCTV installation professionals use that DIY doesn't generally?

    The more I think about doing a DIY CCTV installation, the more I'm coming to the conclusion that I'd be far better off getting it done professionally: they have years of experience, will consider routing cables impracticable by DIY enthusiasts, and will have the necessary expensive equipment to...
