Went round to see the Vicar’s Daughter.and promptly fainted  eeek:

Came round in a heap on the floor.

They helped me up and I was fine.

Worrying and baffling  rubschin:
Yes worrying

Probably do not immediately tell your doctor, they tend to tell DVLA and then you can't drive until they're sure you're safe and that can take months - one of my mates hasn't been able to drive for nearly 6 months now.  They stopped my brother driving for over a year for something they couldn't find.

Could easily just be dehydration.

Maybe take blood pressure and Oxygen level measurements - you can get the monotors cheap off Amazon
Well, whatever, nevermind

Wasn’t planning to call my doctor for just fainting (and the possible driving problem)

Taking it steady today….

I passed out years ago while having a pee at home... Woke up in a crumpled heap on the floor with my knob still out...  redface:

Was rushed to hospital in the ambulance (Blues and twos!) but they couldn't find anything wrong... They said it wasn't entirely unusual...

As Steve said, check out your BP and keep hydrated...  Thumbs:

Day 2 of having solar panels installed, just about got the garage (where the battery goes) tidied in time.  Place is a mad house, road is even madder as Southern Water are fixing the sewers.

What could postibly . . .

Oh, a PV system - do tell more! Popcorn:
23 maybe 25 x 490Watt panels split front (West) and back (East) of house
10kWhour battery (although only 8kwH usable)

Plan is it gives us year round protection of basic services (fridges, phones, interweb, one light) with free electricity for 6 months of the year.  We might get to sell some during peak months.

Amazingly we used 8,472 kwh of electicity last year (£2103 worth) even though the heating is gas.
Well, whatever, nevermind

Blimey, 12kW?

I have a 5kW system here, but I guess our weather is somewhat more suitable...

I make about 30kWh per day at the moment and Jan to today have produced 4MWh.

I don't have battery storage (yet). I have a Nett Metering System which means any lecky I don't use during the day (Production - Consumption) goes as a credit on my lecky Bill...

Last two months bill was €26 which is all 'fees' as my overall consumption was zero.

The only issue with it is that in the event of a power cut I lose power here even if the panels are producing... Hence the b attery interest.

 :thumbsup:

Won't ever get 12kw as when one side is at peak the other won't be.  Their proposal says in best month we'll get 44kwh a day but we'll see.

The real key is how much in December, they say we should get 9.8kwh which is well enough to keep things going.  The other test is how often can it deliver the 7.5kW so we can charge the car plus run the house.  If it can't then we have to buy some.  So hoping with panels and battery we can do that 6 months a year.

Will update when it's running
