Hmm. I've been sitting looking at the plans, ruler in hand, and am unsure whether I can reasonably get more than 12 panels where we're looking at. I did however get what looks like a pretty good quote from Plug-in Solar- 12x 270w Talesun panels, GSE kit, 6x microinverters, and all the gubbins for c. £3.3k inc the VAT. Opinions?

Looking at he MIs, terminal 3 on the TS715 has no function, they're just using it as a junction.

I'd say that in the kit I work on (autoclaves, incubators) it doesn't matter whether it's SSR or electromechanical, they still fail. Also need to consider a chunk of space for the heatsink an SSR needs to make it reliable. At 13A non-inductive I'd go with a cheapo plugin relay and base though rather than a full-on contactor.

I went the same route as @Ed Davies some years back. I've a 600W/1200W peak inverter that I can run off a car battery for light loads or the car idling for heavy work. I've also one of the Lidl inverter gennies (superb value) which replaced a B&Q 2-stroke which wasn't bad either for ten years... Repairing these as I do and seeing then instore, I'd ignore the brand unless you have money to burn. Cheapies more often than not use Honda-clone 4-stroke or Yamaha-clone 2-stroke engines. Although i haven't yet worked out who designed the tiny 4-stroker in the Lidls one yet. For really quiet everlasting suitcase inverters it's got the be the premium Japanese stuff or maybe a Kipor. For everything else? Chinesium.

a 20 tonne load looks like nothing when it's tipped out. Heck we recently lost about five tonnes of blinding, filling potholes in the lane.

called down to the site this evening to check up, to find the site loo had gone for a wander before being righted, tied off and propped by the neighbour. I didn't look inside...

Hi! What Declan said- do bear in mind that planning Policy is a bit different over here compared to GB also, and under the new PPS21 selling off farm fields has been rather curtailed.

^ unsealed jamjar just in case, don't the inhibitors head acidic after dealing with oxygen?
-
Certainly motor antifreeze can be "lifetime" rated now and that's more about the inhibitors than the glycol. I'd contend that the vehicle application is more hostile too. But is there anything in a heating / ASHP system that might be sensitive to OAT or HOAT inhibitors?

Thankfully not. Hose was a pain to change though as the breaker is a JCB Quiet unit and the whole casing needs opening to get to the unions. Thankfully the throughbolts weren't *too* tight.

Help with kitchen renovation/ 1st house.
dpmiller replied to zoothorn's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
composite sink, metal taps, I think I'd be wanting the tap grounded more than the plumbing?
