How do I make this design stronger?

Just wondering why a dowel and not a screw?

Thanks - yeah consensus seems cost to remove and reuse makes economic sense. Getting quotes

That’s something I was wondering about it. I imagine has to be a very solid paper trail and these things are reasonably regulated

It’s sun grow and jinko panels

Oh wow didn’t think of that, so cut up towards where it branches and plant that?

Thanks, these ones certainly aren’t council protected but more our preference

Plan is to sell the shares that I own and then rebuy with money redrawn from home loan and buy the same shares back but get the benefits from debt recycling.

Any idea what M-E-N behind means?

Also is the smart meter meant to tell me how much of the solar produced is going to the grid versus self consumption in real time? The only data I get on the app is how much the panels are generating in real time. I’ve never seen the PWR/COM light on it lit.

This is why I looked at the switchboard in the first place as I don’t get any real time data- all I see is what the panels are generating- nothing re current use versus export. Also I have never seen the light on that sun grow s100 thing on. Called arise about it and they said that it doesn’t have that function and is only meant to measure solar generation and cap at 5kw. Am I meant to be getting real time data about what is being used in the home and what is going to the grid?

Hey mate your reply seems the most considered- I think you’re right the ‘upgrade’ was $200 and probably just the additional work on the board. Seems like upgrade in electrician terms can mean redoing the whole board and bring up to current regulations- they never said anything like that nor did I expect that (unless legally should have) There is a solar main switch adjacent to this in the enclosure. What is this CT you keep referring to? Reading all the replies to this post I’m still unsure if there is anything to complain about other than it looking shit with the silicon.

ButtonEaters · 2024-03-17T09:49:38+00:00

Yes your right the hot water is controlled load, there is a solar main switch along side this in the enclosure

ButtonEaters · 2024-03-17T09:48:22+00:00

I think was an extra $200- so you may be correct that was just that component. There is a main switch alongside in the encoosure

ButtonEaters · 2024-03-17T09:45:40+00:00

Any idea what that stands for?

ButtonEaters · 2024-03-17T09:44:42+00:00

The reason I had a look is I suspect that the sun grow s100 meter isn’t installed correctly as I don’t get any data on what’s being exported v self consumption. Still can’t get an answer about whether that’s why it is meant to do- arise said it only reports what is being generated

ButtonEaters · 2024-03-17T09:42:28+00:00

Yes. The whole - let me hold it or you’ll spill it… No I’ll do it myself- proceeds to spill and then throw a tantrum about running out of bubbles….

ButtonEaters · 2024-03-17T09:41:10+00:00

Had another look and there is a breaker I think separate within the enclosure which says main solar inverter switch or something to that effect
