That's what I thought at first, but I don't think light switches show red on the toggle when on, only higher rated switches. I did wonder if the immersion heater was starting to short due to corrosion, but the Experts say the sparking is normal.

I think you'll have to explain what is "soulless" in an EV, and what features of your ICE have soul.

Well Fleeting, at least you're not a denier, but that's a very "not my problem" attitude. As gezb said, you don't have to have the sort of EV that we enjoy driving. You'll get more than enough power with a Tesla Plaid, Porsche Taycan etc. And max torque available from zero will be far from...

At the moment in the UK, sunrise is at NE, and sunset at SW. So output should be more from the south string.

Sunrise and sunset compass points vary throughout the year. Today in Wiltshire the sun rose near NE, and will set near SW, never reaching west. So the east string should produce more today, clouds allowing !

Did the dimmer switch stop working, or are the LED lights failing ?

Even though this is a UK site, how can any US posters advise when you haven't even said which State you are in ?

Which cable is it in circuit with ? As Mike Smith said is where it should be, to show what is being generated.

Shurely to let the Magic Smoke out ?

Easy enough to find out which string is working - find out what time PV2 voltage peaks.

I read a lot about "spoon-fed " teenagers. Spoon-fed mains is a new one for me.

"The earth must be going through somewhere else in the machine then, and we didn't touch it." "Must be connected" is not good enough. For safety reasons the electrician must verify that the machine is earthed. You may find the mains cable is connected to a terminal block with L, N, and E...

Was "The Flight into Egypt" flown by Pontius Pilate ?
