    Just noticed that the model EICR in the OSG contains at least one mistake ... Nominal Frequency filled in as 150Hz ... I sense an IET corregendum on the way.

    Electrical Installations and Water Ingress

    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...

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

Below are the new rates for Germany which are considerable...
