Plug in solar

[ebee]

Eric has neither one household (as they didn't bother to redefine "dwelling"), nor two (as neither space has its own supply/CU).

He does not have Zero Dwellings either??? .
Don`t you just love people making definitions/rules/regulations and the like that appear to have no concept of joined up thinking!

Yes, he should have tried an approved one.

Since video was made before 27th there were no inverters approved in this country, second one he tried was approved for use in Germany, so should have been OK.

Is this an example of a regulation written by someone who thinks he knows what is obvious but in reality doesn't know what he should?

Yes, these people who think they know it all, are specially annoying to those of us that do. Taken from a plaque on my father-in-laws work station.

Or flounders and swan the English the English the English are best, etc. But English is the politician's language, see how many small changed have been made to the wording of BS 7671 over the years, where people have selected to read it to say something they really know was not its intension to say.

Singing nay no never etc. And counting the negatives to work out if it means yes or no. We even have imagery numbers in our maths in England, but there is no J in the Welsh alphabet.

Seems pretty straightforward to me, one household is one that is fed from one supply with one consumer unit.

Many laws have different definitions for the same words and phrases, it depends of what the law is intended to regulate.

Yes indeed the law does have differing definitions fo a word or phrase according to the usage in that particular case.
My solicitor consulted a specialist solicitor about motor car law for me.

Basically a phrase such as "being used on a public road" in regards to car tax requirements as opposed to needing an MOT or insurance.
Simply put one definition of a "public road" related to a road being created/maintained by public funds yet the other definition was to whether the public had access (such as a residential road or a car park etc).

One chappy I know mentioned having a drink or three at the club on a large caravan site before driving back to his caravan. When I reminded him about Drink Driving he replied "It`s not a public Road"/
I do not know whether his statement was not being a public road made it legal or alternatively reduced his chance of being stopped by a police presence.
Still an idiot in my opinion no matter which way his belief went.

how do these panels work ?
presumably the prongs on the plug are not at 240v (although when cheap knock off from china arrives - lol)
so i guess the panels need to recognise they are plugged into a 240v system before they can switch on ? which would mean they can never be used during a power cut ?

Yes, just like any other solar system.

They are, they need to match the grid.

 

[Munroast]

Yes, just like any other solar system.

NO - some solar systems can work independently from the grid !

They are, they need to match the grid.

I would guess most people with an ounce of intelligence would have understood my post - the prongs on the plug will not be at 240v when not pugged in, i wonder what safeguards this rather important requirement, and I wonder if i s this that caused the great delay in them being passed as safe! (and will the inevitable cheap Chinese knock off’s be as safe)

you do make a convincing job of playing Dougal !
