    solar design

    What's with these guys. I want to buy an upgrade but they never answer their phone or return a call. They don't even bother replying to emails either. Question: Is there some secret code/sign you need to use to get their attention or have they gone to the wall.

    unidentified circuit

    did a cu upgrade on a house the other day but could not identify 1 16a radial circuit. The old board was not labelled and the owners were no help. I searched high and low for it and the house was also full of junk which didn't help. What do others do in this situation ?
