Condensate dripping from the outdoor unit. Sometimes it comes from pipes inside the condenser but more often from exposed service valves or uninsulated pipe near to them. Below shows recent installation here where we have insulated the service valves to stop dripping on the walkway.

There are several cheap mppt buck modules from China kicking around example the ZK-SJ20 which includes low voltage disconnect.

One solution for hole too big in ceiling problem is use the finishing ring from the old fitting as a reducer. Take to LED store and find new LED to fit inside old ring. Below photo shows ring from old light used to fit a smaller Philips 3W LED. Best spray the rings white for better match.

To keep charging circuit simple and maximise efficiency, most of these solar lights use 6V panels (around 7V open circuit) to charge their Lifepo4 cells. The measurement indicates it is likely a 100W model where the panel size would be 6v 20W or even greater for a better quality light.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions, the above paragraph clearly explains the difficulties. My apologies for taking you out of the comfort zone and best of luck the predictions .

In my world if I get 150g for the price of 100g I simply adjust the price per gram. Its an interesting argument like when I said no to a two for the price of one offer and ask for one at half price.

Your inverter was very likely in a derated condition before you started the charge. Unless of course you are exporting for profit or net metering I prefer to use derated when referring to an inverter that's in a condition where it can't export or dump power available locally. I try to avoid using the ambiguous term free power. Yes I fully understand fixed and variable costing, we have many working examples here but it does not change my stance on ROI and free surplus power; if that's what you are referring to. Hit me up on PM and I will invite you to tour the family packaging facility and power electronics business this nutter has created. The BIL always has a solar inverter on the bench.

My argument is with those who invest in solar then claim EV charging is free from cost when using what they call surplus solar. It really is a fantasy world.

duces excess power during certain parts of the day. Determined indeed. None of the energy produced by a solar system is free from cost until ROI is achieved. It really is that simple and no amount of free surplus excess and waste talk will change this fact. Inverters in a derated state will be capable of producing more than what is required. There is no surplus production that gets thrown down the drain. If you don't understand something ask rather than act like a child.

You can buy an underbody exhaust sound speaker to go with those pipes. Smoke emitting device coming soon.

It really is simple and applies to anyone who spends money on a solar system. The only exception would be if the system came free of charge. Every watt used comes at a cost until ROI is achieved. No amount of smart communicating with the solar system changes that fact. You can of course tell family to charge for free when your system is derating but that does not change the fact that there's cost before ROI is achieved. Try this logic. People who sell back to the grid expect to get paid. On the smart consumption subject, we actually address directly via wired comms our solar inverter to recover live data remotely. Limiting a device consumption based on the inverters derating value would be quite easy but would not change the fact that there is a cost/watt involved until ROI is achieved.

When someone says 95% of their driving is free because they charge from excess solar; one would expect the solar system to already have achieved ROI. This is because every watt consumed carries cost until ROI is achieved. Only a dreamer would think otherwise. Our electric lift truck goes on charge at around 4pm each day. Its charger is connected to a phase with no export solar attached. At this time of the day consumption is low in the work sheds and solar is derating but I would never consider power going to the charger to be free from cost until ROI has been achieved around Dec this year. If someone wishes to view their excess capacity as free from cost when charging an EV then why stop at the EV, throw a refrigerator or even an AC into the free mix. You can not fool all of the people all of the time. If one wishes to spend ten hours each day monitoring EV topics and telling the world how much money they are saving, be sure to have all your ducks in a row.

I guess you have achieved ROI on your solar system.

I will leave that argument to our resident pot stirrers.

I have marked part of the quote in red to show we are using time not monetary value. A simple example would be, the EV depreciated by the same amount as the ICE but much earlier on the ownership timeline. Both EV and ICE depreciated when leaving the dealer with the EV depreciating a significant amount more. Note, the above is a fictional example, please don't take it seriously.

But only behind a keyboard for sure.

There's a lot of fuzzy logic in these EV topics which is likely why the confused emoji is so widespread. Perhaps we should start handing out badges to our wonderful EV owners.

Indeed, below is photo taken from behind the pits.

So far my attempts to obtain details from dealers for a family member has provided inconsistent answers and copious quantities of verbal diarrhea. From what I have collected to date, the MG lifetime warranty appears to be a black hole based on how MG evaluates vehicle use, possibly using data collected at each service. One dealer said I could own the vehicle for 15 years and continue to be covered by battery and motor warranty if conditions of use were met. He could not provide detail for this scenario. I await copy of terms and conditions from the MG mothership but wont be holding my breath.

Works well for simple fans but I would not use that method for the OP's fan which is a remote control version with solid state switching of the speed windings. You are right about using a dimmer, the noise at low speeds would drive someone crazy.

Very likely a faulty PTC relay, cheap to replace and have a resistance value in ohms. Take relay and capacitor to shop for replacements. Refrigerator compressors are quite robust so there's a very good chance the motor has survived any overheat which is normally limited by an overheat switch.

Screed to level then tile adhesive, a method rarely used in Thailand. Some big floor tiles set on adhesive with some rotavator assistance.

Please place me on your ignore list.

There will be a terms and conditions revision. I see no problem with long battery warranty periods but they will need to include degradation clauses. A second hand car salesmen in the future might say this car has active lifetime warranty but it will only take you to the local 7 and back on a full charge. I am off to Bangkok with the BIL this week, we might visit the MG mothership to ask about manufacturers warranty terms and conditions.
