Not sure why, but this popped back onto my radar, we Brits do make some of the best commercials ever. 🙂

Does your septic need sucking?

Yeah, it's on pause for a while due to lack of interest. I may start a poll to decide if we re-start 🙂 Can I be assured of a positive vote from your good self??

I was married to his sister!! Blue eyes, blonde hair, big bazookas, beautiful, Essex girl! Loved her to bits!

It's called "self-assembly" for a reason Otherwise, talk to your local bike-taxi guys, they know everyone and where to get anything!!

We nearly made the magic 100kWh on the 6th. The sun went behind a cloud ...

Citi/UOB and AmEx credit card. I got the AmEx card back in 2012, at the time they didn't need a WP, no idea if it's now a requirement.

Yup ^^^. It took me a few minutes to actually find it, but it does seem to work. Click on the 3 dots to the left of your username top right (not the ones far right of the chat window). Select "Skype Dial Pad" from the drop down. It only appears if you have active credit or a live subscription. Easy peasy, the destructions that came with the email are carp!

Why not set up the mountings for 10 panels but install 9? Then if you are confident you can just slide in another panel in future. I'm sure we would be OK with 11 panel strings of our lower Voc panels, But there's nowhere to put them anyway.

This is the voltage of one of the long strings on startup in the morning. You can see the MPPT trying to start as the voltage rises but with no power available, max voltage is about 424V then it actually manages to start making power and pulls the voltage down to 260-270V which is the max-power point at this time. It's this time of day where the greatest risk to the MPPT maximum input voltage occurs. This is a major issue for those in the "cooler" parts of the world as Voc rises by about 0.4% per degree C below 25C (where it is specified). Even in Thailand a chilly, 15C, morning would raise Voc by 4%.

As an aid to prediction how about solcast? You'll still need some form of real-time power monitoring to control your loads mind.

Panels are 340W, Voc = 46.3V, Vmp = 38.7V Longest strings (2) are 10 panels so Voc = 463V, inverter spec. is 500V max. In reality they never get anywhere near that even on a "cool" morning. Vmp of these strings is 387V, the MPPT range is 150-425 (max power is 300-425), but once again they tend to run well below that. Snapshot just now, nowhere near max power generation this late in the day, trees and house get in the way 😞
