The inverter has a 3-pin connection, so there will be a green/yellow....

It's obviously delivery day - the Hoymiles BC05 plug connector has arrived, and finally the panels, rails, clips etc

Might have to wait for my stepson to come back from Uni before I attempt lifting them onto the shed roof

Hmmmm all that rain must be down here somewhere then, it’s overcast and blustery here and we are in and out of the low cloud base constantly at the minute. Good to hear the rain has stayed away from you 👍🏼

Cloudy skies with some hints of blue and 10 degrees on this fine Sunday morn! Away back down to Edinburgh this afternoon for a funeral in Glasgow Monday morning. A sad day but I'll have daughterly with me on the run South jabbering away a mile a minute. :D

A walk and a coffee when we get there while the EV recharges. All in all, not a bad Sunday at all.
