That's a question akin to how long is a piece of string. Generally I tend to go round corners on the assumption that someone has built a wall out of sight across the road and I need to be doing a speed that I can stop quickly without losing control.

Unmarked roadworks. 01:30 in the morning. Motor cyclist 16 years old. Car driver lost control possibly going way too fast and trying to avoid road works. Plenty of things to go wrong.

Yes I'm not surprised. There are cooling kits on the market which, as well as cooling the panels will also supply hot water. These come as a sort of copper pipe looped backward and forwards in contact with the rear of the panel. Another trick is to sprinkle the panels with water all day and recirculate it with a gutter arrangement but with this the water needs to be kept free of dirt and minerals which could stain the panels and thus reduce the light hitting the solar cells.

Not really a problem with solar. The heat is not caused by the panels so much as the sun shining on them. Panels mounted over water have much of that heat removed by the cooler water. This makes the panels more efficient but I suspect you know all this basic stuff already.

Nice ad. for the Moto GP circuit but the topic is F1 not Moto GP. The Buriram circuit is very compact and totally unsuitable for F1. It would take a huge amount of money to bring it up to F1 standard. I think Chid Chob would love to upgrade it but he 'aint got that sort of cash to gamble.

From the air, Suvarnabhumi airport looks like a couple of copulating caterpillars.

Ahaa. The wifey. That's a heat source I hadn't considered. You could be quite reasonably consider a 3MW inverter A/C for that I expect. Any further talk of your 'figs' and I will be tempted to report you.

There are a number of heat sources in solar power production some of which don't care if the ambient temperature goes up a bit (within reason). There is no point to waste A/C power trying to keep inverters etc. at 25ºC. It would be more energy efficient to enclose just the batteries and control the temperature of that enclosure. That figure of 25ºC is an older standard, particularly important for lead acid batteries, which can be increased to 30ºC for LiFePO4's and Lead Carbon batteries. Added to that I have long been advocating to charge batteries to less than 100%. It is far less stressful on the chemistry and will prolong the battery's life if it is only charged to (say) 95%.

These regulations are very flexible depending on a persons wealth and nothing else.

Agreed Plus Make it ilegal for a non-qualified person to undertake any electrical work.

If Trump comes across as "quite Barmy", what does that say about the millions who voted for him? I used to think of America as the land of high tech and cutting edge innovation and, above all, well educated and reasonably intelligent people. Clearly my thinking is in need of adjustment.

Teacher can only live in welfare accommodation? Salary must be crap. No wonder there is so much corruption

Why don't you fit an ATS?

Yeah. PEA are not happy for their customers to become their suppliers. There is some reluctance to give money back to the people they normally take it from. As for fitting batteries, if you are grid connected with a feed-in contract, PEA then becomes your battery. I haven't done any sums, but my guess is batteries would work out more expensive in the long run. That PEA limit on feed-in power would be the show stopper for me. Limiting my solar output to suit PEA is a big NO. Also I would be less than content to give right of entry to any bean counters. The problems of supplying power are a bit complex because of maintaining grid stability. In Australia, one would need to fit an inverter which can be controlled by the electricity company. This would allow them to control grid voltage by changing the outputs of hundreds of feed-in inverters. I prefer the simple life of my own, more or less, independent power.
