Re: Solar power setup for your home in Thailand
Yes, the 'on-Grid' or 'Grid tied' inverters, stop/cut out, when the power grid is lost. This is intentional and is purely for safety reasons. Ah, no, it is nothing to do with safety.

Re: Hua Hin water shortage
Lack of mains water pressure aside, the amount of crap that comes with it should make you ensure that the water ALWAYS goes first into some form of storage, preferably under ground, so that there will always be some chance of getting topped up, and the crap can settle out.

Re: Solar power setup for your home in Thailand
That posted article does not really make it clear: without a battery bank the invertor is called a "grid tied" inverter, regardless of whether or not it is a hybrid. It is called "grid tied" because it cannot function without a connection to the Thai power grid, PEA or MEA. The m...

Re: Solar power setup for your home in Thailand
The shortest life span, and the most expensive to replace, are the batteries. Many variations can affect their life span, starting with the intial quality of them. Right now Lithium-ion are the best option, but with continuing development in the technology, there may well be better options in the fu...

Re: How can Thailand curb its appalling road fatality rate?
Thai drivers have absolutely no concept of speed, reaction time, braking distance, or driving to suit the prevailing conditions. Just as they have no concept of looking at the "big picture" of what is going on around them. It goes much further than a simple "me first" attitude. A...

I didn't know that Harley Davidson makes electric motorbikes. Very game bloke to touch a Harley in Australia, as a lot of them are owned by big hairy bikies that will not think twice about attacking anyone. ................................................................................................

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?

The government are now threatening to get involved, as there are only two main supermarket outlets, plus a couple of independents and Aldi. But it is not apple and oranges to compa...
