100w Fridge Job - Lady who is a professional TV Film extra and attends film shots all over the country. One particular program she has starred in several times was Downtown Abbey.
We received an enquiry from a customer who travels from job to job, using her van for work purposes. She is a professional TV Film extra and attends film shots all over the country. One particular program she has starred in several times was Downtown Abbey. You can see the property used for filming in the background of the photo below. Instead of paying for hotels she saves money by sleeping in her converted van. The customer wanted to run a small fridge, lights and install a 12v socket.
We fitted a 100w rigid panel onto the roof using shortened rails and Z brackets due to the hump in the middle. We installed a new fridge, wired in a battery, mounted a charge controller and installed inverter.
All of this equipment let the customer run the fridge for long periods of time and charge phones, etc.

Breno runs a company called Granite SLABS WHICH IS JUST OUTSIDE Harlow. The site is an old disused airport runway but is perfect for storing Granite. Breno has a Portacabin on site which he uses as an office and was running the electric supply from a generator. He was interested in reducing noise as well as carbon emissions and enquired about our solar power kits. We designed a solar power kit on a bespoke basis which best suited Breno’s requirements and presented Breno with our energy solution. As fully qualified Electricians and Solar Engineer’s we carried out an installation of a 2KW off grid power station using a combination of solar panels and Victron Equipment.

Mark Barmby - objective was to get the Victron 48V, 3000VA MultiPlus inverter/charger running.
When we first arrived, my objective was to get the Victron 48V, 3000VA MultiPlus inverter/charger running. As the battery was a BYD system, there was a 48V, 50Ah unit connected to a battery management unit (BMU). The BMU is in control of monitoring the battery and making sure it is healthy. For the BMU to work through the Multi, there is a CAN type A cable that is required which has specific pins in use to make the BMU talk with the Color control panel.
