Help with installation / diagram

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

     I hope you are not attracted by solar panels where you live, they are virtually useless at such latitude because of the low sun angle and shorter less sunny days. The salesman will say anything to sell, but there is no comeback when you get less electricity than he says, the excuse being the  weather of course!




     

    Try modelling the system in something like PVGIS (which also allows you to enter a representative of your actual horizon.


    Given that a passive house is at 15kW/h/m2 per annum, it's surprising, even up north, just how much you can wring out of PV coupled with a good heat pump and a bit of buffering.  It's not all about "I can do everything" with my PV, more that "I can shift a considerable chunk of import" with my PV


    Obviously that does presume we have a grid that's working in the dark
