Wow. Where can I get those solar panels.

What a CV he must have.

That's the case I had in mind. I was unaware of the final outcome. Is there anything ongoing re. her passport?

Can anyone give me an idea what this means?

Arc flash at 400v? Certainly electric shock is likely to have fatal results at that voltage.

My first project was 96v. Very much do-able. "are there any other benefits to using an HV (389-400V) ESS?" Yes. High voltage = low current so the copper cables are much smaller therefore less expensive.

Hmmm. A contactless contractor. I guess he left his contact details in the event of any rework required............

As far as I know, any government can take away a persons passport as long as that person is not made stateless by such action.

I can help you with that. After many fruitful years, my ESS is now accelerating in an unreasonable direction and causing me to start using PEA although bills are not too big. Although batteries are expensive, I am about 35k Baht better off than I would have been without solar and batteries. The big plus for me is my contribution to climate change which, as far as electricity is concerned, has been zero for years. I will be constructing my new storage soon and will start a new thread on it's progress.

Add to this downtown discussion that we say things like, Question "Where are you going?" Answer "Down the road shopping" Up and Down are often used.

The last page is simply contact information and has no need for any legal status. The existence of this information is deemed to be a request from the passport owner for the listed person to be contacted in case of (undefined) emergency. It has to be presumed that the contact name and address was entered by the owner of the passport. If that page is not filled in then the embassy will need to contact the appropriate agency to locate next of kin. The main task for the embassy is to contact various government agencies like tax and national insurance etc. who need to know if a customer is no longer entitled to anything or to claim off the estate even. This has absolutely nothing to do with what happens to the passport owners posesions after they are dead.

I read that article too and was quite please about the progress being made. How does this all affect us end users? In a nutshell, less roof space for the same amount of energy or more energy from the same roof space. I would imagine the price would increase along with the extra buzz word "perc". Our cells include the perc effect which makes them better performers and so we have to charge more........

I agree entirely about the necessity to write a will. but the will is, in my opinion, second tier. First tier is to contact the deceased's next of kin and/or nominated person and the relevant embassy. Information for both of these should be found in the passport. Hopefully the person died with his passport on or near them. If the embassy is contacted first then they would use the information on the last page of the passport to contact the OP's nominated partner. The wording in the passport is:- "The holder should insert below particulars of two relatives or friends who may be contacted in the event of accident."

On the last page of your passport you should have written the name and address of the person to be contacted. That should be enough.

I have seen some plug in ones on Lazada for about 250 Baht, They seem to be a plug in version of the permanent ones in CU's They have a test button which gives some measure of confidence. Don't know how good they are but probably ok,

Way too much damned new fangled technology going on here. No wonder we're getting a bit over weight. Come in Hal (2001 space oddity) all is forgiven.

The name really says it all. PSI = Pounds from Stupid Idiots

I agree with all the above. That thing gets filed under the category of "How to make a fast Baht out of the technologically challenged populace."

Shame indeed. Some time ago, when an illegal sugar cane fire was reported to the police, the Thai complainant was told not to worry about it because it would be finished after a few minutes. As long as that attitude persists there will be never be an end to pollution. Government responses are fine but what is needed is active policing of the problem and a means to discourage corruption.

They've done that where I am also but using lake water instead. We have very few bored locals here.

Welcome to the Asean Now Self Sufficiency forum.

Which government department did you have in mind?

For ESS you might like to look at NeFe storage cells. They are not cheap but the chemistry is good for 30 years or more. Focus on the TLC. It may put you off The price is good but only over an extended period' I like it, but I'm old.

If I were you I would take the two (or however many) battery cables to a common bus bar and then have a single cable from that to your isolator/MCB. The thought also occurs to me that the cables may be bigger than they need to be.

Quote from Johns Hopkins medicine: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/lithotripsy#:~:text=Lithotripsy treats kidney stones by,pass through the urinary system. "Lithotripsy treats kidney stones by sending focused ultrasonic energy or shock waves directly to the stone first located with fluoroscopy (a type of X-ray “movie”) or ultrasound (high frequency sound waves). The shock waves break a large stone into smaller stones that will pass through the urinary system." It seems there is a bit of exaggeration going on here. I'm sure this non-invasive treatment is available in Thailand. This ex DSI man is taking the piddle.
