    When do you actually do the paperwork?

    Hi Just a question here regarding testing and certification. If you got called to a house to replace a socket that had its casing cracked or you put a lovely new B&Q chandelier up for someone would you then do a minor works Cert + Si + STR? Seems a little overkill to me If you don't what's...

    Now that's what you call a circuit breaker...

    A picture speaks a thousand words, well in this case a video... 500,000 volt line opened under load - YouTube No doubt E54 will be able to explain what is actually happening, I find the description of the clip difficult to understand :yes:

    How many kW have you installed in Feb?

    Well... Jan was really a slow start, but ever since the announcement on 9th Feb, it has gone a little crazy. How many kW's have you guys managed to install or get booked in before the 3rd of March?

Then blood sweat and tears getting the gas bonding through, during which I discovered some 'alternative' junction boxes under the...

    If you were to go to an installation

    If you were to go to an installation and think "I don't like the look of this old board, but I'll use a separate board via Henley Blocks' or similar, would you be OK just noting on the paperwork that the original installation is a bit ****e? I mean, you wouldn't then become responsible for that...

    That's it!

    Last install completed, paperwork finished and sent to customers, invoices paid - that's it for this year. I'm going to repond to both consultations and try and work out what will be best to supplement solar with. In January I'll review the prices and start looking for work again but no...

    Peak Short Circuit Current value on the SSEG form.

    I've looked at the easy MCS guide on here, and it's not clear, (in my eye's) to what value you place in the part where it asks for this. I've done a pscc test at the AC isolator with my fluke, and it's giving me a reading of 600A. Is this what they want? There's no mention of it on the SMA...

    DNO Help

    We had decided that we were just going to install domestic pv systems but have been asked to price for 3 x 40kwp systems in the last 10 days. It seems rude to ignore these requests :D but I'm a bit worried about the whole DNO situation and associated costs. At the minute I've got a farm and a...
