    Prosecution for Installations Completed after 12/12 but Registered Before

    A word of warning for those who installed after they had registered before the 12/12. We had loads in our area - I guess it's a warning coming up to 3/3. Fiddling the feed-in tariff: prosecutions will follow... | YouGen Blog | YouGen, Renewable Energy Made Easy

    The inspection schedule form is for domestic and installations up to 100A. Is there a form for larger installations or do you basically have to create your own ?

    Electrical Installations and Water Ingress

    Hi guys, came across a click rose today, which had been subjected to water ingress. My question is, according to the regs what is the obligation of the electrician who comes across such a thing in an existing installation to ensure it is left in the safest condition possible. Is it simply okay...

    ADS and RCDs on PV installations

    Okay, I know this has been discussed extensively elsewhere but I think this deserves another thread. Seeing as we have generally come to a consensus that RCDs intended to provide ADS may still be being supplied from the LOAD side by the inverter, perhaps as much as 5s after the RCD has...

    What is best practice with regard to labelling of the equipment and wiring of PV installations? My domestic 3.9kW system, installed in November by a contributor to this forum has not one label on it anywhere. However browsing photos on PVoutput.org suggests that comprehensive labelling of...

    Germany will reduce their FiT by 15%.... because they installed 5200Wp !

    Saw this comment over at Solarpowerportal.co.uk and thought it was worth a repost: Decc wants FITs in line with Germany although they have over 10years of large scale rollout and the economies of scale and eficiencies that go with it. Below are the new rates for Germany which are considerable...
