  1. Well, that's alright then Genex Power, owner of the 50 MW / 100 MWh Bouldercombe battery which caught fire in Queensland on September 26, says its preliminary root cause analysis found the fault occurred at the grid side of the Tesla Megapack battery unit. ",,, the fault initially occurred on the AC side, saying the fault then propagated to the battery modules within the Megapack." https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2023/11/07/queensland-bouldercombe-battery-fire-ignited-on-grid-side-not-within-megapack-analysis-finds/
  2. It's capitals The Capitol is the place of government in the US "Crossy" warned for Grammar Police post
  3. All my engineer friends are extremely civil and not at all stupid. If you are however, talking about Civil Engineers, we don't speak with them
  4. I hope there was some steel in there too.
  5. If you can get that as a spare part that would be ideal.
  6. Post decent photos.
  7. It's worth popping the lid off, it may well have the dual-voltage transformer anyway.
  8. OP has his answer. Closed due to bickering
  9. I drive over a number of these "removable" covers each morning (near Lat Phrao). One of them has collapsed several times over the last months. Just gets patched up
  10. Or a lot thinner! Hopefully he didn't have a passenger!
  11. Yes, you can get busbars like that (and 3-phase ones too). You may need to go to your local specialist or online. Best prices are of course on AliExpress https://th.aliexpress.com/item/1005002336710058.html
  12. We aim to please
  13. The "Default" group of emojis is available which has all the popular ones anyway It just doesn't parse :) or :( etc. So you can have a or a
  14. Have a look at the newer hybrids that offer "grid-assist" modes rather than the on-grid hybrid we have. These don't have a separate "essential power" output as basically, the whole output is "essential". GroWatt are a popular budget brand which lend themselves to DIY. 70m2 of roof is going to house about 30-35 340W panels (or fewer bigger ones) so 10 - 12kW of solar. Our 12x6m car port has 32 panels with space for 6 more. That will generate, on average, about 35kWh per day. How much storage you need will depend upon your usage patterns, luckily storage is easily expanded so start smallish. Your inverter size will depend upon your maximum load, you can estimate this reasonably well from your house design since your major loads are likely to be A/C, cooking and water heating. Plus whatever your man-cave uses of course.
  15. Yeah ^^^, this would be my first thought. This is exactly why many of us keep separate accounts for the visa/extension $$$
  16. I'd give it a bit more room although I doubt you'll ever run anywhere near maximum output. Does your unit specify only 100-120V on the rating plate? Many modern systems have universal "100-240V" power supplies.
  17. For an extension you only need room for the stamps which I believe take up half a page (I'm assuming the same space as a marriage extension). Your validity must be past the end date that your extension would be otherwise you only get until expiry of your passport. If unsure have a word with your local immigration office for word from the horse's mouth. @nikmar Whist your information is, I believe, accurate, it is for a visa obtained from a consulate outside Thailand rather than an extension of stay obtained within Thailand which is what our OP wants.
  18. Very good point, what is the youngster used to now (i.e. what is your current machine)? You are really going to need something equivalent to your PC or she may be disappointed. Why not treat yourself to a new machine? That's how I've always handled upgrades, the older, slower bits trickle down to the more lowly tasks (we have 4 desktops and 2 lappies in the house).
  19. We have a couple of even older machines that are doing their job just fine having been given an SSD. Spend the extra 500 Baht for the one with the SSD. MS Office and web surfing no trouble.
  20. Not content with reliving tourists of departure-tax or whatever it's currently called, they want a pint of blood too. What next, a pound of flesh (maybe an arm)? I was a regular donor in the UK, but nobody wants my boring O+ now coz I lived there during the mad-cow era 😞
