  • Great thread idea.

    Been thinking for a while about retraining as an electrician and focusing on being an EV / solar install specialist such is my passion for them.

    Good idea? Any electricians out there with an opinion on idiots like me playing electricians*

    *im obviously going to seek a professional qualification before actually starting this new career.

  • I would say, from my experience of having two 7Kw chargers installed at home, that there isn't enough experienced installers out there.

    The number of regulations, specific model oddities and requirements are mind boggling.

    This. It's a new thing, doesn't just involve a Sparks. You'll need scaffolding, someone to sign off the roof can have the extra weight of solar, plumbing if you want link it to heating, extra meters if you want to sell the current back to the grid, batteries if you want to store it.

  • All this solar powered, internet of things, energy efficient home stuff is so exciting I am also considering training as a professional electrician and shifting from software development to a more physical profession.
