    In Quarter 1 2022, renewable share of total generation was 45.5 per cent. This is the second highest quarterly share on record and the highest since Quarter 1 2020.30 Jun 2022. If we were to wait for the very latest battery technology to arrive before buying into it, it would simply be...

    I've done my best over the years to conserve resources since I learned of CC back in the 70s when I was at school. At the request of my water supplier to save water I haven't watered my lawn at all this year, my choice of course. My neighbours however on either side both have paddling pools full...

    CCTV, workshop security

    I'm having a similar issue with a single camera on it's own PSU, for some reason it will lose power and then come back on again seconds later. The only way that I'm aware that this is happening is because I get an email saying "camera is offline" but by the time I login to the camera it's...

    Replacing a lock for which there is no key (i.e. cutting it out)

    Definitely take the locksmith option as they may even be able to provide a new key too.

    And Here is the News

    Mike, Apologies for posting off topic. I did get drawn in as the environment is a topic very close to my heart but please help me here, you didn't consider the TV licence to be equally as off topic even though the environment is a far more important and urgent issue and IMO should get as much...

    I stand corrected Sir. I was clearly misinformed. (y)

    Bl**dy Mice

    I think you'll find that releasing vermin is an offence so be careful who you tell.

    Bl**dy Mice

    Peanut butter will attract mice and rats from miles around, what you now do with that information is up to you. I used to trap them and shoot them but then they learnt how to escape from the trap with the help of another, seriously I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the CCTV, a rat would...

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    I went for a Growatt 1500tl-x inverter and 4 X 295W Smaller Size Perlight Black Plus Mono Percium Solar Panel - 54 Cell Smaller 1.5m high. Check out Bimble Solar as they supplied most of my equipment.

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    The equipment I chosen suits the application which I intend to use it for, your situation will no doubt be different from mine. It would be wrong of me to try and explain everything in a text format because 1) I'm not qualified to do that and 2) there is too higher risk of misunderstanding that...

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    No you can't, the inverter has to sense mains before it will process the power from the panels, if the mains goes down the inverter will shut off until the mains is restored again. I can't speak for the cheap Chinese eBay/Amazon inverters but a MCS certified Growatt Grid tie inverter does...

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    Well...... That depends on whether you have the necessary understanding to do it yourself, who signs off when you plug the Toaster in? The inverter simply plugs in to a standard 3pin socket, of course the socket has RCD protection the inverter circuit handles the rest. It's not as simple as it...

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    Have you considered DIY, I did and all worked out fine, you just need to watch the numbers Generated Vs Usage.

    Solar panels: do they save money?

    Neighbours don't have any problems at all, in fact they are considering doing the same and were asking me how much it all costs. Edit: Anyway it's not just about me it's about all of us doing what we can to improve our environmental impact.

    Advice on how to remove "sharpie" writing on a guitar case please?

    This admittedly is a long shot but I've used Car waterless wash and wax products for removing stains from various surfaces, just shake and apply not as a spray but as a drip and work in with your finger (it's harmless) no doubt you'll need several attempts, also let it soak in before wiping off...
