Does anyone know whether it's still the case that if a customer wishes to have a supply installed for a welder in their home that they need specific permission from the DNO? Struggling to find an answer on Google.
Hi,
I bought a 4.57Kw PV system (14x SunPower 327W panels) for my house last year.
I now noticed that the installer fitted a SE4000 Solaredge which is limited to 4Kw.

Hi all, has anyone fitted a garage board in a recessed meter box when installing pv when there havent been any spare ways? I've heard people say you shouldn't do this.
A new draft version of the G83/2 regulations has been released for consultation including major changes to the rules about when advance permission is needed for connecting a solar PV system to the grid. These changes have massive implications for the industry as a whole, but particularly for...

Found while doing an EICR today - see picture.
OK- its just outside Zone 1 by a few mm, but the storage rad circuits are not RCD protected and there's no supplementary bonding in the bathroom.
I disconnected it, then got told "it doesn't work anyway" ..... I guess it got wet!
However, worse...

Hi guys.
Could an installation with 16 x 240W REC panels (3,89KWp) coupled with a SB4000 tl qualify for a 16A install or would permission be required, an SB3800 flags up on the min PV voltage at 70degrees?
