It is best to say surplus electricity which of course if consumed comes at a cost.

There is something very wrong if an inverter produces beyond demand to the point where it faults. If the max grid voltage parameter is being exceeded then that's another story which really should be looked at. Most inverters are certified with country code parameters which are sometimes too narrow for Thailand's grid.

The inverter has no idea that there is a potential 3500 watts not being consumed. It is only interested in the real time demand and any limits imposed by settings. A de-rated inverter will happily produce a tiny fraction of what the attached solar array is capable of. If healthy, the only real problem for an inverter is over/under voltages at either end of its process or excess temperature generated around the switching electronics. Note. I did not grab this information from the internet black hole, it comes from studying the disassembled code of several on grid solar inverters made by Chinese enthusiasts.

Your simple logic and example explains why you are having difficulty understanding. Maybe call a friend for guidance.

I think you already know my argument is against those who choose to use the word free without being specific. If ROI is more complex than a simple price per unit calculation then it's important to explain how this will speed up payback. Best to keep it simple on forums where not everyone wants to get involved with costing methods.

We can split hairs and argue with personal circumstances all day long but simple ROI rules will always win.

Your personal arrangement, planning, E-bike, ICEV, bla bla bla is totally irrelevant to my argument no matter how you apply the word FREE. Read and digest it slowly, you will get there in the end. I have placed the important part in bold to make it a little easier for you to catch on. One cannot claim the power is free (no cost) until the value of electricity produced exceeds the cost of solar equipment.

It will become free from cost when initial investment has been recovered. Solar power is a great way to charge EV's but one cannot claim the power is free (no cost) until the value of electricity produced exceeds the cost of solar equipment. If a solar system produces more energy than required and surplus energy is used to charge an EV, the same rule applies. Free can mean many things; so it's best to be more specific unless of course one is purposely attempting to introduce ambiguity just in case someone questions the claim.

If an inverter restarts frequently the first port of call is the fault log. If the logs show no errors then begin looking elsewhere. In theory software should not make a restart during normal operation without logging the reason but there's always a possibility you have a condition that's not been accounted for or might even be one that's resetting the hardware without the software ever knowing. The high temperatures you speak of are of interest to me because I have made some mods to my inverters and others that use passive cooling. These mods help during high load and high ambient temperature conditions.

It's not so much of a dogs breakfast if viewed from below in good light and I have always liked Ford performance blue. Definitely the budget fix for a midlife crisis.

I grew up on a small Greek island and know very little about the British car industry. I would however be interested to know why a sports car often observed at our mainland shows was taken off the road because of safety issues. Link to the detail would be appreciated.

The MG re-badge idea should be more about losing the stigma not making it worse. This re-badged MG is lipstick on a pig but if it makes the owner feel more confident, why not.

The car looks nothing like a Trans Am but it appears you have a knack for cracking these cryptic plates. Lots more over in the Reddit stable if you enjoy the challenge but be aware they play for fun and without racist cards. This is a tricky one.

Well spotted, the personalised plate will likely to go up in value and offer a little compensation at the very least.

What does the fault history show?

I believe this is the original pic from Reddit.

I wonder how much crap made it through those holes to the evaporator. If it's not chewed by a rodent there's something very wrong with that filter.

The vehicle braking system applies load on the rotating roller motors which is measured and displayed to the operator. I believe in some countries heavy goods vehicles include load or down force applied during these tests. Not sure why this is done, possibly to test suspension or vehicle load sensors during tests.

Mains supply isolation requirement for home automation switching devices is mostly decided by the the relay contacts state. If the contacts are dry (volt free) then good mains isolation at the PCB is desirable. Example below Shelly with dry contact isolation. The OP has model without dry contacts.

Shelly device with powered electronics only, no relay load. All brand name devices like Shelly and Sonoff have some kind of internal protection at the electronics supply circuit. Inline fuse, fuseable resistor or similar. As already mentioned, very short lengths of 1mm cable will easily carry your breaker trip current although an electrician following his code would likely shout foul.

One possible cause of premature failure in LED pool lights. A while back my brother-in-law returned home with some failed LED pool lights from a local pool. Thinking about making repairs we dismantled the lights to find that the electronics sealed inside a clear compound has suffered corrosion and burning. Further investigation revealed water had found its way inside of the sealed area down the supply cable. We later made a visit to the installation and found all poolside connections to the lights submersed in water because of pools flood over design. This service bulletin from Hayward Pool Products points out this problem and the need to seal cable ends at the supply junction. https://deltatriluhur.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/hayward_underwaterlight_installation_guideline.pdf

Your statement is pointless without defining accuracy required. I have just repeated the area measurement method made by @Muhendis (the method you previously questioned) on a 10mm2 copper cable using digital vernier caliper which repeated within .03mm. I repeated the test using a 0-25mm micrometer and obtained the same result but the wider contact area of the micrometer slightly improved repeatability.

You can buy new fully dream pimped and street cred ready.

XLPE is an insulation type. The average accuracy of digital vernier calipers is around .02mm
