Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

[nowty]

Following my midnight measure up a couple of days ago, City Plumbing have been round again. , this time no pallet, came from a local store and they phoned me to ask if I wanted them a day early.

£66 each for 430W panels and free delivery.

Would like to keep them here at the front of the house as its sunny even in winter but not likely to pass the SWMBO and neighbour tests.

put them on a trolley and wheel them out and put them away again when you are not there, doubles as a solar tracker if you keep popping out to adjust them like I used to do.

OR make SWMBO a lovely gabion basket raised bed planter and pop the panels on the side with hinges at the top so you can pivot the panels out when its sunny, vertical for when the boss is gardening etc etc its not a solar installation if its something they like doing is it!

I'm two weeks away from two 500 bifacial panels from the same place for my next "venture", I discussed more battery capacity last night with the boss and she was "yeah ok" and then we sat and discussed power usage, future house plans and how the new tariff was working and before I knew it we had both agreed that the battery wasn't as beneficial as extra panels would be so there I was down a battery and up two panels without a clue how it happened women really are cunning aren't they , right I have some ceiling to paint as the wife says I am better at it than she is

It is difficult to justify any upgrades at this end. IOG is simply too generous!

1) My teeny battery can get me through the dingiest days because I can reliably get additional IOG cheapslots whenever I need them.

2) Any additional generation is priced at 7 or 15p/kWh which is hard to justify.

New panels now in operational service on the decking area connected to an existing DC charge controller which should now max out in summer.



2A current earlier in the gloom.



But as the weak sun shines through a gap between the houses, a bit more.

Surely this recent addition calls for a full picture of the entire power station garden?

This gets most of them in the picture but very few can be seen by my neighbours.
