  1. Some definition of what the variables are would be helpful ????
  2. Does it look like this (mSATA)?
  3. Lunar eclipse conclusively proves the earth is flat.
  4. It would seem Neil and Buzz weren't the first! Front cover of the Sunday Sport Newspaper - April 24th 1988 - World War Two Bomber Found on Moon
  5. Absolutely, as proven by Wallace and Gromit!
  6. We all know Kubrick filmed the landings, he just insisted on doing it on location ???? The really worrying thing is that some will actually believe the Kubrick interview is real.
  7. Do check with the local PEA office but for a 15/45 meter on a reasonably short run (30m or so) 16mm2 copper or 25mm2 aluminium would be the stuff. Is it running overhead or underground (different cable types needed).
  8. Nope, you are waaaaay over producing if you really are using only 3kWh. Your panels will be generating around 15kWh per day. Your batteries will run you for 6 days in the dark.
  9. OK I see what you want to do, and that would work. BUT Do NOT use the "N" connection for the inverter output switch (Use A & B on both sides and C & N on the inverter input). The reason is that on 3-phase breakers the N contact opens after and closes before the ABC contacts. This is important for 3-phase to avoid the possibility of having the phases connected with no neutral (even for a fraction of a second). An open neutral on 3-phase can be very bad news for connected devices. For your application you might end up with supply and inverter neutral connected together briefly, it's unlikely but why take the risk.
  10. There are loads of potential locations all over Thailand in varying states of "abandonment". Have a look at the Abandoned Places thread in the photography forum for some examples. Your biggest issue is going to be getting permission to film. It would be most unwise to just turn up and shoot! And don't forget the correct visas for your actors and crew! But of course you already know that.
  11. The actual "ideal" tilt varies throughout the year, for example on April 26th and August 16th 2022 the ideal tilt in Bangkok was dead flat (sun directly overhead at the zenith). In reality being this close to the equator the tilt angle actually makes very little practical difference (try playing with the calculators and adjusting the tilt angle). Other factors like the weather make far greater variations. If your roof isn't ideally tilted just spend what you would have spent on fancy tilted or adjustable mounts on an extra panel or two. "Tilt a bit and point roughly south" works remarkably well ????
  12. Dealing with you lot on a daily basis. Hair?? Ya think?
  13. Something we've been missing is a link to online solar "calculators" (really estimators), so here are a couple to get us started. A nice simple one:- https://www.whatnextnow.com/home/solar/solar-panel-calculator And something more complex:- https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/en/tools.html#SA Please feel free to add your own favourite.
  14. They would need to steal my finger too in order to open the SCB app ????
  15. Lazada?? There's (or was) an official Tomzn store.
  16. Truemoney Wallet and PromptPay - both QR based. Even our local songthaw has QR payment. Two fares "long trip" and "short trip", scan the relevant QR whilst riding, show the driver the confirmation when you get off.
  17. Have a look at my pinned AVR thread but I think it's do-able. Will you take your sub-meter and 16mm2 direct from the existing meter or still suffer the run of 6mm2? Is the existing meter a 5/15? Whilst you are not likely to blow it up it will lose accuracy if loaded past 15A (bet it won't read low) and I wouldn't take it past 30A.
  18. Our first Mazuma 8kW unit lasted 7 years. Replaced with "same" - Error! Firstly the "same" but slightly later design has the fixing holes in different places! Sort of negating the reason for getting it. Managed 2 years. This one I fixed (overheat switch pinched from the earlier failed unit) which has a failed heater (yes, this sad individual keeps failed stuff for far longer than is healthy).
  19. Me, me, me!! But really only because it's nearer than the others. There are a few things that Makro don't carry and I get beer there coz I visit Makro at 6AM and they're not selling then. So I get, beer, Breeze (and Comfort), dog treats (the barkers have got a taste for the expensive Japanese "Dogaholic" ones), bathroom and kitchen paper and anything that was out of stock at Makro. Usually reasonably busy at 11AM on Saturday.
  20. I suspect there is a fault in the spacetime continuum. This year is 2022 (and yes, I did actually go and check in case I was finally losing it) ????
  21. Inverter outdoor units don't cycle, they change speed so you wouldn't necessarily notice. Two x 34k units would be ok by the standard Thai guesstimate of 600BTU/m2 but that massive glass area isn't going to help. Tinting should help but those windows point in exactly the wrong direction ???? Any way to add shade outside (planting) to keep the sun off the south and western walls?
  22. Yeah, Al underground is specifically prohibited in consumer installations (the supply authorities can use it of course).
