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.

Ah. It was long ago but IIRC the single door units that were available were taller (or maybe I just didn't notice). In 12 years nobody else has asked the question ????

I don't have much in the way of photos of ours under construction and the cost wasn't broken out of the contract. The structure. Here it is ready for the granite. Base units completed. And 12 years later.

Let's do a quick and dirty calculation for a simple grid-tie system that's DIY installed. Your 2,000 Baht power bill would be about 450kWh so about 15kWh per day. A 340W panel will give you about 1.2kWh per day so you're looking at 12 panels = 4,000W system. Panels are around 3,400 Baht a pop = 41,000 Baht, a 4kW grid-tie inverter around 11,000 Baht. Add 10k for installation bit n bobs and you're gold for <65k.

They do, but the rate they pay for export is pretty dismal (even after a recent increase) and getting your system approved is "impossible" for a DIY installation. The vast majority of small domestic systems simply spin the regular meter backwards during export and get 1:1 on the re-imported units.

Ours went in exactly the same way (took a bit longer). Replacement electrodes are available but are definitely not cheap, we didn't bother and went back to conventional chlorination. This site says 2 year warranty https://swimmingpoolsthailand.com/en/emaux-salt-water-chlorinators/1481-emaux-ssc25e-chlorinator.html could be worth talking to Emaux themselves.

Yeah, it's built into every domestic-type grid-tie inverter I've ever come across. Anti-islanding is indeed the correct term.

Mirrors? We don't need no mirrors!

Yup, after the flooding had peaked and the bags were about to be removed.

Taken during the flooding, in fact I could nail it to a few days from the pattern of the sandbags.

Ours are Shera board, wood patterned but they're not wood coloured (painted the same colour as the walls). Nothing looks quite like real wood, but of course it comes with maintenance requirements.

Do keep us informed on what transpires. Our panels are all too visible on Google Maps, so if PEA get the urge, they don't even need to leave their aircon office.

I think it depends where the poles are located (public or private land) but I'm not totally sure. That's certainly the case when you "pay" for a new transformer, you would expect PEA to maintain it then of course.

If the poles actually belong to your neighbour it can't hurt to ask if you can piggy back on them (for a fee of course). There is always a risk that in future you might have a "falling out" with them or subsequent owners of the land and suddenly find yourself without power.

I suggest your first port of call be the local PEA office with the address and the meter reference of one of the existing meters (so they can accurately pinpoint where you are). EDIT A Google maps printout wouldn't go amiss too. They will tell you where they can install a meter, how big a supply you can have (important) and be able to point you at a "contractor" who can give you an estimate. I put "contractor" because most of the PEA offices have crews who will moonlight for jobs like this. Our poles were put in (on a Sunday) by a crew driving a PEA truck and wearing PEA uniforms, the poles are stamped "PEA". Pay the foreman in cash! I think we paid about 15k for 4 poles and 60m of single-phase wiring, but that was waaaaay back in 2011.
