How would you approach laying in ring downstairs with no floorboards or joists just bare ground, the property is being refurbished ? Bit puzzled by this one !
AS the Queen song goes.
Just got another call - system installed by a now non-trading concern, fried inverter, Samil in this case.
The question is, what do you replace them with - Samil only had a 2 year warranty.
Like for lIke?
Something with a longer warranty?
ABB / SMA ?
Been out of the loop for a bit, am I right in assuming that batteries for a domestic self consumption situation are 5%?
Also for off grid systems?
Cheers
