Have an existing FIT setup that's always been fine with them until being shunted onto their MINFO payment system. Registration takes months and support is non existent. Annoyingly I signed up another SEG setup to them as they'd always been fine (until recently) and been waiting since November for th...

Timesert is a better thread repair to aim towards than a rivnut https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335297993253?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nQkA_Y0LQlu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bl7oVt0pRnS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Might as well keep in mind a good last...

Can you get it to a competent welder? With a snapped off easy out in it too, your options for DIY are really limited. Even with the broken bit, welding *may* work. Especially if you can Dremel away a bit of the snapped bit with a diamond burr first. Happy to offer but am sure you'd be able to find s...

Just checked, yes, I do have one I sent this morning in outbox. 30% full

Not sure if solar production is bad - it’s sheffield, with trees and houses limiting insolation. That probably explains it, I expect, roughly 1000kWh per kW of panels installed on a south facing, unshaded, sensible pitch roof. But all the things you mention will be nibbling into that. Presuming a m...

It's different. The main relevant difference is diesel has much better lubricity. So, by swapping it out, whatever portion you displace from the diesel, will affect the wear of components negatively. As mentioned, a bit on a full tank; meh. The more modern the machine the more vulnerable it will be....

As title, anyone have an old SMA inverter kicking around they'd be willing to sell? 2500, 3000 or, ideally, the 3300.

Many thanks

You could, write them a letter, explaining the situation and that, in light of them not wishing to do anything about it, suggest you will be happy to proceed with 14hrs of cheap(er) electric, as opposed to just 10 and that you'll adjust your usage accordingly. Might be too late now the switch is in ...

Using batteries to store energy you want to use for heating is bonkers. Economically and environmentally. Especially resistive heating with electricity you've bought. There are so many options for thermal storage that you could explore; water, phase change, high temperature, heat pumped geothermal, ...
