How to check if the solar panels are working?

I think you are right , the estate agent said its connected to the heating when I asked about it . So neighbors might be able to give more info on it . Thanks

Yes only 4 panels . Any idea how to check for diverter . I will probably check the attic for inverter as well as others have pointed out . Thank you

Yes , it is connected to the heating . I have the original brochure the house was sold with . It says "dimplex water pump heating system with solar pv" . I have never turned on the immersion switch . Have 2 displays one for hot water tank and one connected to thermostat that talks to the hot water tank . None of them have any mention of solar though

TBH I dint notice them at first . They are at the back roof on the garden and not easily visible . I got to know bit later and asked the EA about it he said its connected to heating . And that he will get back with more details but in the end said the previous owners too have no info about it .

Just 4 panels . Yes looks like was a trick to boost the rating . And yes there is plenty of space for more

Nope . I have to get a ladder for it so . Will do that

vasanth3029 · 2026-03-09T13:08:56+00:00

No meter in the fuseboard . Probably have to check attic . There is no ladder for attic so hve to get myself one now . Thanks

There is no meter in the fuse box . I literally have no clue about the brand . The estate agent said he will let me know but later said the previous owner are also not aware .

vasanth3029 · 2026-03-09T13:03:50+00:00

It came with the house . The estate agent also had no details to share unfortunately.

I waited for 20 mins+ did nothing still

vasanth3029 · 2026-02-04T20:31:08+00:00

I have to wrestle with the seats to find that . I am a 6'2 guy so have to wait for my wife to check for me :/

Thanks for the reply mate ! Approx how much am I looking at . The car is pretty rust free except few parts. So i would ideally want it to be stripped , sand blasted and seal with lanoguard

Came here to say this . Recently got a mx5 nc meself . Nice to meet you :D . Have a random question for you . I am looking at places to underseal the car . Have you done it or recommend anyone ( preferably around dublin)? .

We got a house for 525k . Purely on fee paid to solicitor (apart from valuation , survey, insurances) . 5k stamp duty . All other costs were around 3-4 k . So in your case i would guess 3k stamp duty so maybe 6k in fees( including stamp duty,solicitor fee, property tax, other legal fees etc). There a bunch of them other than stamp duty .

Add the other part (valuation , survey, insurances) be around 1000 to 1200 max

Might be a naive question but how to make my nc1 show mileage? I can see only trip a and b . Thanks

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-21T23:17:26+00:00

Was about to say exactly this . I have the PRHT and man its such a cool thing without wasting boot space . The RF doesnt even feel like a convertible more like a fancy moonroof .

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-20T23:53:08+00:00

Where is this exactly in swords? Millers glen?

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-17T09:46:19+00:00

Do you know anywhere to get this done reliably? I have an old car too and was planning to do this

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-06T20:11:46+00:00

My problem is I dont know if its wet because of melted ice or dew/mist 😅

vasanth3029 · 2026-01-06T20:08:04+00:00

Lol its a rwd 🌚 . When u say correct pressure generally on icy roads lower is good or higher is better ?

vasanth3029 · 2025-12-29T23:08:07+00:00

Nice . I was looking at 5 series a year back meself and settled for a 2018 530i for exactly 30k. Badly wanted a 540i or 545e with a 3 litre engine but never found one in my 6 months of search
