  1. If you don't score here in the local forum, drop me a PM and we can move to the Alternative Energy forum where more solar users will see the thread. Have you done any consumption measurements to determine just how much solar and how much storage you would need? Useful as a baseline, even if you intend getting your contractor to size the system. As a starting point I suggest reading your meter at 9AM and 5PM every day for a week or two. That would give you a day/night consumption figure. The night consumption will allow you to size your batteries.
  2. The missing unit is actually just the trigger electronics for the shunt-release (the small blue device on the right) that opens the main MCB. Without it you lose the RCD functionality but retain the MCB over-current protection.
  3. Yup, it's a shunt release which is supposed to be operated by the absent RCBO sensing module.
  4. As above, with the RCBO module removed you have no earth-leakage protection. Any indication where the unit went? It may well be faulty but having the old one would make life far easier when sourcing a replacement. Of course, when you fit the new one you will still have the tripping issue. Then it's time to start looking for the real problem.
  5. A post that crossed the line, even for this thread, has been removed.
  6. We had rats until a cat adopted us, evidently our rats were juicier than the neighbouring ones. Cat was assisted by a couple of sunbeam snakes (non-venomous constrictors). Cat is now a fat cat, but no further rats seen. Unless it's a really serious infestation there are plenty of rat baits readily available from your local outlets, use a "rat station" if you have pets / children who might eat it.
  7. I expect to run into this barrier in the next week or so, I need to transfer Madams housekeeping from my bank to hers (it includes the $$$ for the mortgage payment too, I don't pay her that much). Both accounts with SCB, let's see what occurs.
  8. Are you converting some other kind of entry to a non-o or extending an existing non-o entry?
  9. I think I was married to her once
  10. My friend Jim told me that when he asked his wife where she wanted to go on vacation, she said that being married to him was a vacation. When I commented that was a nice thing to say to him, Jim replied, "Well, actually, what she said was I was the 'last resort.'"
  11. Not the BTS it runs up the wrong side of the airport. You need the Red Line from Bang Sue Grand** station (Bang Sue on the MRT Blue Line). Red Line station has a pedestrian link into the airport. ** Don't even ask me write/pronounce its official new name.
  12. As above, if you want to feed a mixer you need a multi-point heater. The regular shower heaters are not intended to have their outlet blocked (it's used as a vent in the event of a thermostat failure) and whilst it may "work" it's less than safe and could make a large bang if it ever boils.
  13. Jeff Bridges: Starman (1984) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088172/characters/nm0000313 [Starman is driving the car, and speeds across a recently turned red light, causing crashes for the other motorists] Starman : Okay? Jenny Hayden : Okay? Are you crazy? You almost got us killed! You said you watched me, you said you knew the rules! Starman : I do know the rules. Jenny Hayden : Oh, for your information pal, that was a *yellow* light back there! Starman : I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast.
  14. Possibly a confusion of terms, the signage says "District Office". We got both the yellow-book and my Pink ID in the same building, same office.
  15. A handy tool for doing just this https://landsmaps.dol.go.th/#
  16. Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter came over and they gave their drink order. 'I would like a Sprite,' said the first little piggy. 'I would like a Coke,' said the second little piggy. 'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy. The drinks were brought out and the waiter took their orders for dinner. 'I want a nice big steak,' said the first piggy. 'I would like the salad plate,' said the second piggy. 'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy. The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert. 'I want a banana split,' said the first piggy. 'The chocolate cheesecake, with whipped cream, please', said the second piggy. 'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' exclaimed the third little piggy. 'Pardon my curiosity,' said the waiter to the third little piggy, 'But why have you only ordered beer all evening?' You're gonna LOVE me for this.... The third piggy says - 'Well, SOMEBODY has to go "Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!"
  17. I helped a mate get his back in 2021 (Pathum Thani again), this is probably an extreme case but ...
  18. For the power, talk to your local PEA office, take a Google map of the location. You will also need to know roughly what size service you will need, out in the sticks anything over 45A / 3-phase is likely to be needing your own transformer which will add $$$ to the price ???? But talk to the man, deals can be struck! Water will be pretty much the same idea. You need to know the size of the service needed although adding a large storage tank would help mitigate an under-sized supply pipe. What sort of commercial venture are we looking at?
  19. Are you Thai? If not, what land ownership vehicle are you going to use?
  20. Yeah, I wish I knew when they were here. We shall just have to wait and see. EDIT I'll give it a month and if the blue-meanies haven't visited by then export gets re-enabled!
  21. The place to start is your local Ampur office, requirements vary vastly from area to area (are we really surprised about that?).

  23. Well, it was going to happen eventually ???? I suspect that a PEA employee has seen our meter going in the wrong direction. The next-door food shed has had a new supply installed, first I knew was when I spotted their shiny new digital meter installed above ours at 11AM on Saturday morning. I'm 90% sure it wasn't there at 4PM on Friday afternoon. I don't know when they actually did the job but there's a strong possibility that our meter was going backwards at the time. Oh well, I've disabled export so if they come again they won't see it running in reverse, but I suspect that a new meter is in the post ???? We shall see.
  24. It depends on just how much you will actually be shredding; we have a big garden with lots of trees and Madams pruning activities generate quite a lot of clippings. We started with one of these https://shopee.co.th/☁♛เครื่องบดย่อยกิ่งไม้ใบไม้-ไฟฟ้า-Electric-Garden-Shredder-branch-leaves-Mulcher-ยี่ห้อ-TALON-รุ่น-HSG-2021-2HP-HSG-2000-i.431532413.5693593082 Which worked pretty well for greens and small stuff. Madam wanted something for the bigger prunings so she graduated to one of these https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i2714748426-s11335446065.html Both are pretty noisy in operation. @JAS21 has an absolute beast of a machine, perhaps he could post ????
  25. What does the charge show as in the itemised section of the bill?? Or just post an image of the billing section ????
