with solar inverters it is quite often the igbt power transistors that fail, quite a lot of them are made by fairchild of the usa, might be worth a quick look inside it,

A word of caution concerning LG batteries, kia hyundai, jaguar, chevvy, to name but a few they all have been using these LG batteries, they all have have had battery fires and with the chevvy more than one battery recall, I would not be putting them in your place of residence, out building only,

if it is not happy about something it will be giving out a fault code, it is quite common for the heating element on the igniter to fail, these are available separate. for it to light you need pellets on the grate, a heat source and a supply of air. look in the ash chamber below the grate to...

if you have a pipe loop going to the property and back to the boiler/buffer, then you can have the pump anywhere on that loop and it will do its job. if it is at the property end then you can turn it off with the heating controls,

we have had phe get blocked up internally, with it removed pour hypochlorite in to it and leave it for a couple of hours, but no more. then pressure wash it out in both directions.

the solar bayer is also a very good boiler, like the eco angus it is just a box with a fan, but where the solar bayer wins is that the heat exchanger is designed not to require turbulators, they have more surface area to compensate for lack of turbulators. this makes them very easy to clean, if...

with a load on the system like that you are not leaving much for other electrical appliances, 20kw is about 80A, with back ground load and other loads coming on such as a kettle (3kw) washing machine etc etc,

the inverter for a wind turbine requires different software for it to work correctly, the mppt tracker for solar only has to cope with a fixed voltage more or less, it is the current that changes a lot. the mppt tracker for wind has to cope with voltages that are all over the place and so the...
