For the naysayers, here's what I actually shared with the Battery/Solar companies. PROPERTY & SUPPLY - Single-phase 100A supply - Octopus Go tariff — cheap rate 00:30–05:30 - Smart meter installed - G99 notification required for Powerwall 3 INSTALLATION LAYOUT - Tesla Gateway: above...

Thanks JohnW2, I've greatly benefited from your support over the years and that of other members like EFLImpudence and MadRab over in the plumbing forum. What perhaps has not been visible to others in this post is that I have designed the installation fully, documented it and had it thoroughly...

No need for me to wonder. My brain doesn't go down rabbit holes unnecessarily.

Murdochcat , I think you're just making meal of it now. Its a simple question about cable routing through brickwork, but yeah let's DIY bash. Last time I checked, this forum was for amateurs and hobbyist to get friendly advice. Have you got advice to offer? If not I politely ask you to stop...

Just to clarify, I ruled out Octopus because they refused to fit any Powerwall where the battery is more than 15m from the gateway. Mine is about 17m and they insisted on me fitting it closer, in a very awkward location. Other companies like heatable and spirit solar have been absolutely...

Thank you, I have ruled out Octopus for that very reason. The information in my original post is based on conversations I've had with various firms, but I am keen to get my own understanding. The setup described described above has been validated, its more to do with the cable routing and...

yes, this isn't intended to shortcut the installers work but my question is quite specific about cable routing and less about how the system is set up etc.

Just nudging to hopefully get some advice

Hi all, I am considering having a Tesla Powerwall 3 and Gateway installed. I am in the process of getting quotes but wanted to get an idea on cable routing. I'm also looking to have an EV Charger installed at the same time. Here is my current electricity supply cabinet: I would like to have...

yeah, I'd think so too. any harm in fitting a hepvo anyway?

yep all fully intact, i've also replaced the durgo valve a few times.

I think this is the trap here but I dont think its working for some reason. I don't believe it is retaining the water seal even though the shower gets used very regularly.

Hi, I have noticed that we are getting bad smells through our ensuite shower drain, which I have noticed doesnt have any kind of trap fitted and is plumbed straight to the soil stack. We do have a durgo valve but given the way the shower drain is plumbed, the stack is not airtight, hence the...

Ohhhh, thank you for clarifying. Unfortunately that would be a lot of work and I dont want to risk not being able to do it due to a bend somewhere.

Sorry I didn't follow that at all Are you saying its ok to run 6mm2 TE cable clipped to floor joists and underneath my floorboards to allow a future installation of Solar? Or that I need run it through a conduit?

Hi all, I am in the final stages of my renovation and would like to consider having solar on my garage roof which is South/South West facing. The issue however is that my garage, whilst attached to my house, iron the other side to the CU and Mains Supply. Therefore I am wondering if I should...

Thank you, that worked perfectly. The way I've done it is, I have the ring main coming into a J803 junction box, my mirror light and then a feed to a J804 junction box that powers the fan and ceiling light with the switched circuit. Thank you to everyone who contributed. I truly appreciate...

Ok, so I put it all back together as it was originally using wago connectors and whilst there isn't a light attached, I flicked the switch and the fan came on as expected. Now my next question is, how do I add 2 extra cables to power my new ceiling light (switched) and illuminated mirror...

The ceiling rose was completely untouched, those terminal blocks were completely vacant when I exposed it to take the photo. I will put it all back together tomorrow morning as it was, so we can start again. No wires have changed colours, but I have added new cables as the new light fitting...

Hi, apologies for the delay. Busy few days with work. I've opened up the fan and found it has red, yellow and blue conductors. Sunray, to your comment earlier. The ceiling rose photo was unchanged and before I started the work
