  1. Been renovating a Hrade 2 listed building for around 6 years now, had builders to start with but had to sack them as wasting time, money and rubbish job. Installed 22kW gshp and all running well, now istalling off grid solar and a little confused about how to go fro 3 phase to 3 separate single phase consumer boards. We asked for dno apprpval but local supply can't support us, wanted 50k to put us on 3 phase. Hence Solar and off grid. Iscthere anyonecwho supplies correct kit to go from 200amp 3 phase split down andcsupplying up to 80 amp on any single leg? Picture, link or really good description would be much appreciated. Solar is 48 panels of 410w to 3 x 10kW inverters in parallel. 6 x 100amp 52v batteries in series linked to all 3 inverters, Master and 2 slaves. Output will be from the single master inverter. We will end up off grid. Soon as Solar is running. Don't want ENW to have anything from us!!
  2. Scottish Standards state Standard 2.13 Every building must be provided with a water supply for use by the fire and rescue service. 2.13.3 Alternative water supply Where no piped water supply is available, or there is insufficient pressure and flow in the water main, or an alternative arrangement is proposed, the alternative source of supply should be considered as appropriate by the fire and rescue service. As we are 2 miles from the road and have a private supply of 10 dribbles per second, can anyone advise? is it a problem or; Does the fireman think that it is a single house so no problem. Do we need a tank of water and how much to suggest? ( 1 or more IBC linked) There is a burn but it is wide and shallow and 70m away. 15m lower, so I think is no help. Actually well water supply is between 3 litres / minute now and 12 l/minute in winter, so no problem in supplying domestic water, but quantity and pressure, no.
