Yes, a N-E bond in the distribution board / consumer unit is correct. It confuses many but in reality, many other countries do the same. In Aus and the US the links are visible, in the UK the link is in the service head and not accessible. The diagram below came from this PEA document (my translations) Groundwire Mk2 book-Manual.pdf Note the routing of the incoming neutral via the ground bar, this is the Thai implementation of MEN (Multiple earthed Neutral). This connection must be before any RCD/RCBO devices or it will cause them to trip constantly. If you require an electrical inspection this is how the inspector expects it to be done. Have you included RCD or RCBO devices in your revised system? Wikipedia has a good description of the various earthing systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system Thailand is generally TNC-S with MEN.

Assuming it's a decent micro-inverter then payback would be 6 years ish. You should easily be able to do something similar for half the cost.

Ouch!

Sounds like an excellent reason not to do the washing up ???? I'm not allowed anyway as I don't do it correctly apparently.

Do you have a link to the item itself?

Many of them would disagree with you on that subject ???? https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Undead

I've edited the thread title to include the forum name, evidently there was some confusion over my original heading.

A comment on moderation and some off-topic posts (which I actually agree with) have been removed. Let's try to keep it specific to the subject of the poll shall we ????

Now why did I never think of that? Asean Now for all your DIY tips!

Madam already has a significant collection of bladed tools (and keeps them razor-sharp), no zombie with any sense would attack!

A number of members have expanded their solar posts to include things like rainwater harvesting. I wonder if we should expand the forum scope somewhat. I'd like to keep to the "techy" side of things, keeping chooks and growing food is well served in the Farming forums. So, your thoughts and ideas are welcomed, the poll headings are really just ideas rather than a fixed list of options. Please go ahead and add your own thoughts. Or tell me I'm an idiot and not to mess with something that's not busted

Yeah, the beasties really love the wood composites ???? We installed a termite-system when we built the house, the little blighters bypassed it and got into the ceiling void above my workshop! New ceiling time ???? Luckily, they remained confined to that space. The route they used is now closed and the termite-man knows to top up the extra feed point.

So, an outdoor kitchen ???? Some like to formalise the outdoor space, ours is much like yours but it has a roof to keep the rain off Madam when doing the cooking ????

3M Amalgamating Tape would probably be the stuff. Done right it will last forever.

Must be perspective, I just measured it, 620mm from tiles to the edge of the granite ????

Looks like Google's "satellite" has been busy. Chez Jas21

We have the same inverter. It's also one of the few grid-tie hybrids that are on the "approved" list. Those parameters are "hidden" and (rightly) not readily accessible to the regular user. However, the relevant information is (like pretty much everything) available on the net if you know where to look.

BUT. You will get a continual ear-bending about the non-functioning tap. Sooo, is it a. No nookie or b. Pay the man?

You think it's bad here ... Once upon a time... The UK had such a problem with the out-of-control breeding of traffic cones the government actually set up a hot line to report the ruddy things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cones_Hotline

A bunch of off-topic "language police" posts, and responses, have been removed.

Tell me about it! You will also find that the larger adjustable won't fit under the sink! At this point call a plumber and crack a beer!

Yes, but you need to ensure your hybrid will do on-grid with no battery. There's plethora of hybrids described as "on/off grid", you need to carefully peruse the documentation to see exactly what they can (and can't) do.

They do vary just to cause annoyance. A decent sized adjustable is your friend. They're always a nightmare, but you just need enough to break the seal (you will also probably need someone to hold the tap as by now it will be going round).

"Let's do a quick and dirty calculation for a simple grid-tie system that's DIY installed." As others have noted it's very much dependent upon usage patterns.

Yeah, the bottle is outside behind the hob. The water pump is there too.
