#17 - Standards Madness & Rising from the Ashes w/ Brendan Laidlaw
Episode description
Brendan "Knackers" Laidlaw, the Head Trainer at Energy Training Group, joins us to discuss the industry's biggest issues. We cover the impact of the the new standards on inverters (the 1.25 x calculation), how to interpret it and also how to navigate around it. That leads us into similar issues with DCU's (i.e. optimizers), micros, earthing, cable, string fusing and other ludicrous outcomes from the new regulations.
Knackers has an epic story of success after emerging from the ashes (literally).
