The boring thread.....

Sunshine ... I must water my garden.. bone dry..

Sunny here too, there is a man in the garden pumping out gunge from the pond into the flower beds, lots of koi poo etc and very good for plants apparently...

Good morning all.      
Bright and sunny here so I will get on with making up my Nematode mix for the garden tubs.

Waiting in for my delivery of some solar panels. You'll know when I've got it all set up as it will be rainy for the rest of the year (be a while though as there is annoyingly a long lead time on the inverter)

For the house?

[klondike]

Yes. I had a small system installed last year but only on one roof. I've since realised the other roof would be OK too but adding just that would cost close to the price I paid for my whole system last year as prices have shot up.  That wouldn't then make financial sense. 

I've decided to put a couple of panels up as a solar gazebo and run them through a plug in microinverter which are in the process of getting less regulation making them a DIY job. I'll have it covering house load and just exporting any excess. I'll get paid for any export under my current systems certificate and tariff. 

The return shouldn't be high but the way prices are likely to go once Trump throws in the towel and leaves Iran in charge it might be  producing something very worthwhile.

Thanks for that, I am looking for power to the greenhouse and shed and looking for a "cheap" option
