Re: Small things matter
Looking good so far, can't wait to see the finished article especially with the stained glass window. :xl: SWMBO.& No1 had a slight hiccup bringing the stained glass window into the house. No.glass broken but frame (which is fully lead) took a hit. 18 panes missing but apparently they are in a ...

Re: Flattening the duck curve with batteries
Nice one dan, real world difference maker. California has a good year round climate I think?

Re: Small things matter
Joe, you could make the side brackets right angle bend just clear the top of the gutter and have another right angle bend pointing upwards and screw it to the wooden rail thereby allowing you to adjust the runoff angle of the panels. No 3m lengths of 3 or 4 x2 here I'm afraid. Thanks for the inspir...

Re: Small things matter
Are you going to put some sealant between the panel edges and bolt them together to stop any water getting between the panels? Yep, I've bought some T shaped rubber seal. The dearest part so far is keeping it all in stainless steel. I'll order some s/s machine screws and nuts once I've seen the pan...

Re: Small things matter
We've got a back corner sitting in place! Tomorrow I'll mess about with a 35mm thick small mockup of a panel edge and see if I can cheat some drop for the panels. Any drop I gain it will still be sub 1 deg fall. :facepalm: Sitting at about 0.5deg the noo. :hysteria: SWMBO is getting excited, many sm...

Re: Idiot's guide to a self build battery
I noticed last night that i was not getting above 96% SOC while we still had a little over 1kW PV incoming. I surmised that there was a lag between Pylontech data displayed and the charge state of the new third and furthest battery stack. Had a look this morning at last nights data and we can clearl...

Re: Small things matter
That's the first bracket done for the top of the panel support. https://i.postimg.cc/SKt86CgW/20240512-112858.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/CxxzcdBJ/20240512-123034.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zvd1vDzX/20240512-123131.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SKVdwnDs/20240512-125711.jpg Worked out well and enjoyable to do....

Re: Navitron Archive
I had a look about on the archive this morning. It responds well and is easy to navigate in albeit a no photo, basic way.
