European warehouses store 40 GW of unsold solar panels.
Rystad Energy says that about €7 billion ($7.8 billion) of solar panels are now being stored in Europe, but European developers continued to buy solar modules from China throughout the first half of this year. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/07/19/european-warehouses-currently-host-40-gw-of-unsold-solar-panels/

What type of MCB for an induction cooker in 3-phase operation?
OK, it looks like it is correctly connected for 2 of your 3 phases plus neutral, so that one is cleared up. Can you check that you actually have 220V between your neutral and each of L1 and L2 at the stove. If that all checks out, and your pans are definitely compatible (do you have a cast-iron pan you can try?) then I too am suspecting an appliance fault.

Cleaning up my front yard
Yeah ^^^, what do you intend replacing your grass and plants with? The way forwards would determine exactly what you need to do in preparation.

What type of MCB for an induction cooker in 3-phase operation?
Hmmmm. Is the cooker really intended to run on 2P+N? Can you upload the .pdf files you have please, I would have thought it was intended for 3P (no neutral) operation. Of course, I could be wrong, hence asking for the instructions. I would certainly have used a 3-pole MCB and 2x32A seems oversize for 7kW, again what does the book of words say? @bluejetswhilst we wait for the instructions, any thoughts on this?

Electronics Extension of Temporary Stay via Internet for various visa types
I do recall a (fairly) recent thread, I'll try to find it. IIRC the actual list of visa types available was highly restrictive and none of the "usual suspects" were included ???? Possibly this one: - This popped up on Mr Google https://asq.in.th/thailand-e-extension-electronic-visa-extension

What was your wife/girlfriend's employment when you first met her? And what is she doing now?
It's no secret that my lady was a licenced masseuse working in a Rome (Italy) "Centro Estetico" (Beauty Centre) torturing fat Italian women who were paying >50 Euro an hour for her services (early 2000s). I had some very nice massages whilst we were courting Of course, these dried up once we got married ???? She previously worked at the Rome Thai Embassy, we have a photo of her (and other embassy staff) with the current Thai king (he was crown prince at the time). She is now a full-time housewife and granny looking after her animals and plants (I think I fit in the "animals" group, she feeds me).

Repairs to laminate flooring
That's going to be a nightmare methinks ???? I'd run some cyanoacrylate (superglue) into the delaminating area, that should stop it getting any worse, but an actual repair is another matter ???? Time to get out the Blue-Peter sticky-back plastic??

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Since we have some spare steel in-stock, an expanded battery house is under construction, room for another 60kWh (4 x 48V, 280Ah packs) which we are never, ever going to need (or afford right now). Steel frame, walls and shelves of Shera board, so the whole lot is essentially fireproof (it will only house LiFePO4 packs anyway). Keeps me off the street. I must rescue that errant pressure tank, it floated there during the flooding last year

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Yup, our man should arrive on Tuesday. Sadly, due to being on no-export all month we are over the 300-unit limit so won't get the discount ????

Village offering free electrical safety checks and Safe-T-Cut devices to older houses :)
Once you have your permanent supply which needs an "inspection" by MEA or PEA there's no further inspection needed, ever (unless you are going for a legal grid-tie solar system). So, no notifiable work, nothing. So long as you don't blow up the meter or start a fire (crypto miners seem to be the favourite cause of conflagration these days) nobody cares. Sad to say barely a month goes by without an article where a youngster, teen, granny or just ordinary person has been zapped by something innocent like a water-cooler, ATM or even a fence. For flips sake, there are even hotels that still have mains-powered pool lights!!

Village offering free electrical safety checks and Safe-T-Cut devices to older houses :)
RCD / RCBO protection has been compulsory on new installations for at least 15 years. Get your certified sparks here: - I even know a couple of chaps who have the paperwork, they're not doing domestic for a few Baht, they are on the mega-projects and O&G and earning $$$.

Puyai-baan was on the speakers earlier saying that the older houses in the village are entitled to free electrical safety checks and Safe-T-Cut devices. He does seem to spend government money wisely ????

Glasses: Lens Terminology
I'm not an optician, nor do I play one on AseanNow. My understanding:- Non = Plain, untreated glass Hard = Hardened Glass HMC = Hardened and coated glass https://www.mikeoptical.com/newsdetail/the-difference-of-uchc-and-hmc.html Blue-cut = Adds a blue light filter, could be good for reading.
