    Hi all, I've been following the threads about pricing and predictions of the solar world after Apr 2012 with interest. Down here in the SE there is certainly a continual downward price trend for installs. Seems like a few installers are even quoting sub £10K for 4kWp systems. Not really...

    Multiple installs

    What is everyone doing when installing two separate arrays next door to each other? At present we send in the G83/2 application before installing, but have to wait weeks for a reply. I am tempted to install the first one, register it then do the second at a later date and send in the...

    Conduit installs

    As i don't really do much proper conduit work, i have what may be an obvious question to some.

    Testing for the LABC

    Need to pick your brains. Does anyone do any testing for the Local Building Control, when non-registered sparks need a Certificate?
