How about a solar car port on a budget?
Numbers for July. The small PEA use is from when I turned on the mains breaker to make the meter move a bit 🙂

PEA Visit BS or What?
TiT I'm afraid for the voltage difference. They would alter the tap setting on the Tx but that might cause other issues if, say, a currently dormant factory came back to life. It's not really a difficult task but ...

PEA Visit BS or What?
My understanding is that PEA is nominally 220V P-N and MEA is 230V P-N, both +-10%. I wouldn't worry too much about the imbalance for your 3-phase kit although induction motors do run with a poorer Power Factor when run at higher voltage than nominal.

Question: Electrical Problem
How big are your A/C units (BTU) and your water heater (kW)? To be clear it's the big blue breaker on the left that's tripping not the red one? If this is the case, and this being a 63A breaker, initially I'd be tending to think it's a faulty breaker tripping early.

Thailand Weighs Benefits of De-listing Red-Whiskered Bulbul
Some years back a mate in the UK had a problem with a cat s**tting in his garden. Another mate suggested a laser pointer. One was obtained (a legal, low powered red one). Of course the moggie in question wasn't available for testing, but there was a different cat relaxing on the windowsill across the road. I think we can see where this is going Careful aim was taken. The weapon was energised! The cat literally went straight up like a Harrier jump-jet and wasn't seen for several days! I think from this experiment we can conclude that laser pointers are indeed effective against errant pussies.

Got a pigeon problem? Time to break out the LASER!!!
Interesting, that certainly looks like the same unit. 200mW is likely more than enough oomph to be honest.

Doubling Up Connections on Breakers
Provided your wires are about the same size and the total doesn't exceed the terminal size limit doubling up isn't too bad, it's done all the time in the UK for ring finals. You could get double entry ferrules and crimp both wires in there then into the terminal.
