    Pi Availability

    Appreciate there is a global shortage of Pi's (amongst other silicon devices) but anyone know any source that has any stock what-so-ever? I've hunted across all the usual locations and seems zero availability! :-( (There goes my Xmas holiday project!)

    CoCT and off grid solar system approval

    I did it, needed certificate of compliance for house and then had my solar installer provide their piece and submitted. Pretty straightforward although had to renew / update our electric cert for house due to renovations so there was some legwork on that side.
