    British Photovoltaic Association (BPVA)

    Is anyone out there a member of the BPVA? I have received a survey request offering half price memebership. £500 instead of £1000. Sounds a bit steep to me are they a genuine representative body. Apologies if you have seen this in a non PV section of the forum already.

    Paying for structural assessments

    There is another thread talking about the need for structural assessments but how do you pay for them?

    Require a PV Survey !

    Just wondered if there are any companies that require PV surveys, as i know how difficult it is to try and do everything.....be in all places..

    Site survey, voltage data logging

    Hello all, I have ran into a problem with a SB3300 tripping out on a recent install. After checking mains volts and hertz I got a reading of 50.2 hertz and voltage fluctuating between 252v and 262v. A quick read of the inverter spec makes me think over voltage is the problem. Can anyone...
