    Charging 12v Battery with Solar Panel?

    I use a small 12v 1.5w Solar Panel to charge my engine battery, quite often it's not powerful enough and the battery loses charge. If I buy a bigger one say 30w, would that still trickle charge (albeit faster) it, or would it damage it? TIA

    Solar Panels Is Panel Angle REALLY That Big of a Deal? (My Installers Were Pretty Relaxed...)

    So we just had our solar panels installed last week – super exciting! 🎉 But one thing that's been bugging me is the panel angle. The installers weren't super precise, saying it would only make a small difference... but now I'm second-guessing everything! I've been doing some research on the...

    MCCB panel selection

    We are looking for a distribution board to provide 3 * 160A three-phase feeds, but they are basically redundant supply path options so max total is 160A as well. I had been looking at using a Hager MCCB panel (as we generally have been using their MCB DBs) but many of them are limited to 125A...

    The big stately home I’ve been working in has an EMS 5096 alarm system with over 100 detectors and 3 (that I know of) panels. All detectors are battery powered and radio back to its closest panel. All panels are also radio linked together. They get the odd fault code which is usually a flat...

    Replacing run to detached garage sub panel.

    I have a detached garage with a 60 AMP subpanel which has lost power. I traced the failure to the wire running under the walkway via conduit (about 15 ft) and can see it fried on the detached garage side. I suspect age, critters and or water got to it and shorted it out. If I replace the wire...

    RCD if required and what type, re-solar panel installation?

    I decided to get solar panels, the inverter instructions say one can use type AC, so the existing 14 x RCBO CU seems OK, may be a good idea to fit type A in the future, but if following what is says in wiring matters should have type F for my inverter drive washing machine, as if that will ever...
