How do I fill in the sunpath diagram for an unshaded East facing roof?

Hi All,
Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place or isn't quite the done thing.
One of my kitchen sockets has given up the ghost; it's showing a neutral fault when I connect my (bog-basic) socket tester into it.
After knocking off the power at the mains, I've dropped the socket off...

Firstly, this is not a name and shame thread, but a genuine query.
Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know an electrician by the name of Paul Weatherley? He trades under the name Weatherstone Electrical, and used to have a company called Solar X-Press (which now seems to be dissolved), from...
Posted a thread earlier this year giving a comparison of total outputs of a friends 4kW system to that of mine. We are located within 200yds of each other in north Essex. He has 10 Suntech 250W panels, 8 facing due east the othe 8 due west connected to a SMA 4000TL Inverter. Mine 16 Hyundai 250W...
I've put this here rather than the solar forum as it's more an 'interest' thread than a techy one.
I was travelling back from a job in the middle east yesterday, and passing through one of the airports I saw a series of advertising posters for HSBC - those supposedly inspiring future technology...
Just thought I’d share some info on the Pv system at my house, click on this link to view My PV System.
The above link (fingers crossed it works) is to sunny portal where pretty much everything inc photo’s can be found, hopefully it will be of use to someone somwhere but much of it will probably...
I've it mentioned that some panels perform better for east west applications, but can't understand how this is possible or where I would find the information to make such a decision?

Hi all.
I have a Solar Panel business (www.rainbowsolar.co.uk), but unfortunately it's just not paying. This is going to get get worse come August when tariff reduces to 16p. I'm going to have to move into electrical contracting to supplement this business. I'm NIC registered domestic...
If you cannot face panels south and have just the choice of east or west or combination of both, what’s best?
I thought I would offer some generation figures based on a friend’s and mine 4kW installations completed last November. We are located within 300 yards of each other in North Essex...
Looking for information on working abroad in middle east and australia, lot of places charging silly money to get you visa, entry , employment. I currently am a 2391 tester who has building regs qualification and worked for 2 years as a manager. I am looking for testing and inspection work or...
quoting for an east/west split on a hipped roof (oh joys!) so can only get 5 panels on each roof. After reading some of the previous posts I thought that the Aurora 3.0 would do the trick but the minimum voltage is 156v. Thinking about 250w Yingli (35.1v) so this doesn't leave a lot of leeway...
