For those of a certain age ...

I'll have to check with him, not seen him in ages 😞 It was suggested that he (ok his Thai wife) join this Facebook group for possible contacts. https://www.facebook.com/groups/solarcellthailand/

I suspect our local BKK Bank branch just wanted rid of the awkward farang, it wouldn't be the first time I've been fobbed off there.

Aging memory! (no, it doesn't give you a reduction) OP edited to avoid confusion.

BKK Bank were not interested in my ID card/number. Gonna try one of the other banks noted above.

Excellent! Strokes white Persian cat. I shall test.

The Social Security Office want me to open a bank account using my Pink ID and Yellow Book rather than my passport so they can deduct my 432 Baht monthly payment direct. SSO said they can't use SCB and that they can't use my existing BKK Bank account 'coz it was opened using a passport number 😞 So, off to our local BKK Bank branch. They say can only open an account with passport, and, since I already have a working account, they won't open another anyway. To be honest I sense bull to get rid of the farang. This branch only gets 2 stars for customer service! So, time to do the rounds of the other banks 😞 To speed me in my quest has anyone actually managed to open an account using Pink ID and yellow book, which bank? If I score I will, of course, report here.

Aussie router!

One for Bwits.

We get the occasional freebie (although they do seem to have dried up recently).

The sun has got his hat on ... Now, about that 250A MCCB I have as my main battery isolator ...

Made by my, very Aussie, brother!

Take a trip to your local PEA office (take a Thai speaker) and ask for an upgrade. You may need to also upgrade the wiring from the meter to your house and change your incoming breaker.

We lost an inverter due to a failed firmware update (initiated by the manufacturer). Unit replaced under warranty. No doubt it would have gone on if the update hadn't been attempted. Crickey, was it really 2022!!

Yup, mine too
