    Do BG Nexus make an intrrmediate dimmer module?

    Thanks for the information, yes on reflection I realised that the intermediate probably wouldn’t be able to be dimmable! 🙄 The electronic switches may be worth a thought. Thanks for your help.

    Wiring an off on switch into a Contactor for electric motor?

    I have a sawbench motor that needs an on/emergency off switch fitted, have the hylec on/off switch and a contractor 240V coil with NC contacts. Any advice on how to wire it up? Please see attached photos. Can’t seem to get my head around it and failing to make it work on the on off buttons...

    Overpowering solar inverter

    Hello, My current 2.5kW Solar pv array is in a less than favourable position, but there is plenty of space to expand the array. I have an additional 4kW of solar panels that I wish to add to the array as even during peak production we are lucky if we can achieve 1800W out of the 2.5kW so...

    Hybrid without batteries or grid tied with Auto transfer switch? Will it work?

    I am in the process of designing a system for deployment in Southern Africa and looking for some help/input from fellow solar installers and enthusiasts. Their grid is somewhat hopeless and is often turned off due to lack of supply - load shedding. I am looking at the possibilities I have ahead...
