That roof looks ripe for some panels
Re: Balcony solar PV
Not wishing to hijack this thread and unsure wether to post here or the "every little counts thread" but ................
tonights success ........
Have always been unhappy with heatpump outside unprotected -even though they are designed to be outside . Covers are usually cheap painted steel exposed to all the elements.
So have put a cover on mine.
Love these micro inverters , - temporary electrical connection ,but my dedicated solar circuit (so i can monitor) is only approx 5m away.....
Evening (and morning shade tho) .
