I do at the moment as I've dropped quite a few small stones and some small bits of compacted clay on it from my works.

Third Victron charge controller wired in, I already had this from experiments a while back so no extra cost, its now a triple decker with active cooling. :shock:

Final position for the reused panels, I was going to put 3 across on the shingle bed but I don't think it would look right, so I put the 3rd panel back were it came from against the back fence. :mrgreen:

New panels now in operational service, I still have the rear fence panel to wire up but that should be done in the next hour. These panels are 60V panasonic panels so each panel can be wired in parallel with the charge controller.
