    Voltage drop and it's effect?

    Hello all, just been thinking over Voltage drop!! 1. Where does the 3% and 5% figures for voltage drop (VD) come from? Appendix 4 (BS7671) gives the figures but why the different values between lights and sockets? 2. Also permitted voltage levels are -6% and +10% from 230V giving a min of 216V...

    Comparing my PV output with other nearby systems

    When I was researching PV through this site I am sure I found a link to a website where countrywide, or even internationally folk were uploading their generation data. Having spent a good hour googling and searching within the forum I have drawn a blank. Can someone help please. Thanks.

    Customer has this inverter with 16 panels. Happy with system but when looking at the historical data on the inverter the annual history has a scale such that in November to March there's hardly anything to show and even in a sunny April, with about 500Kw it's only going to be a small block on...

    Fascinating PV output in thunder storm

    In recent weeks, on sunny mornings, my 3.7kWp array (ESE-facing, in Cambridgeshire) has been peaking around 1.7kW output between around 10:30-11:00am. This morning was much the same, with reasonable sunshine and an output of 1.6kW around 10:30am. Then some very dark cloud rolls in, hailstones...
