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
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.

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.
