  1. Seems to be a bit of an epidemic.
  2. It's an epidemic I reckon, Sukhumvit 64. Do I detect something under-sized here?
  3. Check the actual consumption of your pumps. Probably the simplest and cheapest way to mitigate their consumption is to add a small grid-tie inverter and a couple of panels to your mains supply. Once you know your pump consumption, we can give an idea of what you need. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's a slave to The Great God Koi (they are Madam's fish but ...)
  4. I feel sorry for the kid being guided by two girls. He will be led astray no doubt. Where do I collect my booze??
  5. If you go with the cart-port (tractor house) for the panel location then the house roof is freed up for a solar hot-water system Our neighbours in our old place had a heat-pipe system, on a good day it would boil the water in the tank!!
  6. Well, that's alright then Genex Power, owner of the 50 MW / 100 MWh Bouldercombe battery which caught fire in Queensland on September 26, says its preliminary root cause analysis found the fault occurred at the grid side of the Tesla Megapack battery unit. ",,, the fault initially occurred on the AC side, saying the fault then propagated to the battery modules within the Megapack." https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2023/11/07/queensland-bouldercombe-battery-fire-ignited-on-grid-side-not-within-megapack-analysis-finds/
  7. It's capitals The Capitol is the place of government in the US "Crossy" warned for Grammar Police post
  8. All my engineer friends are extremely civil and not at all stupid. If you are however, talking about Civil Engineers, we don't speak with them
  9. I hope there was some steel in there too.
  10. If you can get that as a spare part that would be ideal.
  11. Post decent photos.
  12. It's worth popping the lid off, it may well have the dual-voltage transformer anyway.
  13. OP has his answer. Closed due to bickering
  14. I drive over a number of these "removable" covers each morning (near Lat Phrao). One of them has collapsed several times over the last months. Just gets patched up
  15. Or a lot thinner! Hopefully he didn't have a passenger!
  16. Yes, you can get busbars like that (and 3-phase ones too). You may need to go to your local specialist or online. Best prices are of course on AliExpress https://th.aliexpress.com/item/1005002336710058.html
  17. We aim to please
  18. The "Default" group of emojis is available which has all the popular ones anyway It just doesn't parse :) or :( etc. So you can have a or a
  19. Have a look at the newer hybrids that offer "grid-assist" modes rather than the on-grid hybrid we have. These don't have a separate "essential power" output as basically, the whole output is "essential". GroWatt are a popular budget brand which lend themselves to DIY. 70m2 of roof is going to house about 30-35 340W panels (or fewer bigger ones) so 10 - 12kW of solar. Our 12x6m car port has 32 panels with space for 6 more. That will generate, on average, about 35kWh per day. How much storage you need will depend upon your usage patterns, luckily storage is easily expanded so start smallish. Your inverter size will depend upon your maximum load, you can estimate this reasonably well from your house design since your major loads are likely to be A/C, cooking and water heating. Plus whatever your man-cave uses of course.
  20. Yeah ^^^, this would be my first thought. This is exactly why many of us keep separate accounts for the visa/extension $$$
