  1. OK so internal post. Unlikely that anything nasty is going to happen unless the shipment is somehow "suspicious" (sender is being watched by the authorities maybe). BUT If it is and the content is illegal expect a world of hurt. Without knowing what is being sent we really can't help much. Not being available isn't the same as "illegal".
  2. Please can you clarify? Is your package coming from outside Thailand or being posted from within Thailand? EDIT What is your medication, are you sure a generic isn't available here??
  3. The rules of cricket are way too complex for any AI to comprehend
  4. I'm not a massive fan of the later Beatles stuff but this is obviously going to be a massive hit (and money maker).
  5. A Surgeon goes to visit his patient after her operation, and he asks her how she is feeling. “I’m feeling fine” she replied. “Well, have you any questions you would like me to answer?” he asked. “There is one thing” she whispered with a red face, “When will I be able to resume my sex life?” The surgeon was taken aback and thought for a moment, but then said “I am not sure, I have never been asked that before, after a Tonsillectomy”. 😀😀
  6. Spain and several other countries have tried ... https://www.solarinspain.com/en/article/54/farewell-to-spain’s-solar-tax And the Good Ole US of A https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2023/10/24/california-proposes-blatant-seizure-of-property-in-solar-ruling/
  7. I hope none of you chaps are using your ad-blockers when on AseanNow
  8. To be honest I don't think I'd worry about such small errors. The inverters will stop charging when they are happy and the BMS's will look after your packs. Unless things get badly out of balance just fit, forget and enjoy the "free" energy🙂
  9. @Thaifish have you had a bill against your electronic meter yet? If not, when one comes do ensure that the export energy isn't on it as a charge!!

    Hmmm, can you try on your latest post? If it's a bug I'll report it. Edit window should be 30 minutes.
  11. Would you fly in this aircraft?? Yes, it's real! https://www.jetphotos.com/registration/OH-WTF
  12. Do you have any appliances where it actually makes a visible difference? Anything electronic will likely be constant-power so nothing changes. Resistive heating will be marginally better at 230V.
  13. Is there an "income" option like for marriage and retirement extensions??

    Produce is a very good way to pay a bonus! Last Friday our local immigration chaps visited on their annual visa-extension call, spotted some "food plants" (looks like something I would spray) and spent a happy 10 minutes collecting large bunches which went in the boot of the "smart" BMW Last year they took a load of papaya 🙂
  15. Are you a licenced Thai sparks? (yes, there is such an animal) Just to clarify, PEA will put the meter on their pole, what happens afterwards is your problem. Make sure you install to the Thai regulations (not BS7671), if you want an English language equivalent get a copy of AS/NZ 3000 which is close enough.
  16. PEA will bring their supply to their chosen pole. What you do after that is your problem, your sparking contactor should be able to do underground. If you do trench then include a pipe for your fibre internet.
  17. I would still recommend a ground or car-port mount, particularly if you are DIYing it. Our 12x6m car port (space for 4 cars) has 10.6kWP on it with room for another 2kW or so. Panels should be good for >20years and still have >80% of their rated output. LiFePO4 batteries, if not abused, should be good for >5,000 cycles and still have >80% of capacity. Generally, the 5kW hybrid inverters are best bang for your buck at the moment, so two running in parallel would be ideal. @Pink has a system very close to what you are looking at.
  18. I stand to be corrected but I thought the financials were the same as a marriage extension, 400,000 in the bank for 1 month or a demonstrated income of 40,000 per month. I'm sure those-that-knows will be along shortly. @BritTim is your man I believe. EDIT Update, 500,000 is the correct value as confirmed in later posts.
  19. Closed at OP Request.

    Gardening

    Madam pays the village ladies to help her in the garden (we have a man that comes on Sunday who cuts the grass etc.), she pays 300 Baht for about half a day. Nothing regular, Madam needs help she calls a lady and she comes round and helps.
  21. It's the voltage difference between the packs (effectively state of charge) that drives any current between them. But slight differences in pack/BMS internal resistance will affect just how much of the total charge current ends up in each pack. At the end of the day both packs will have the same voltage and state of charge, how they get there is outside our control, "You cannae change the laws of physics Jim".
  22. Your BMS can't regulate current, it's a purely on-off device, "charge" or "not charge" only. I admit that I'd never thought about the inverter actually controlling the BMS, I've always assumed it was a purely one-way (BMS to inverter) message. Are your batteries completely separate on the DC side? I'd assumed your packs were in parallel which I understand is the normal connection even with multiple inverters.
