Looks good Nowty, can I ask the panel price? Mind and update the list.nowty wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 3:45 pm Damn those cheap panels at City Plumbing with free delivery, I don't want any more honest.
But they could replace 4 on my front porch sitting on prime SSW facing real estate. Then those existing 4 could replace the non matching silver frame ones on my decking area which were originally on the front porch to start off with.![]()
These are the last ones, honest.![]()
Front porch (V1) 1kWp
Front porch (V2) 1.26kWp![]()
Front porch (V3) 1.72kWp

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage
They were £75 each with the VAT but the free delivery is sweet. I think they manage to do this because they come from a local depot, so a relatively short distance.

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage
I don't actually know how they do it. My single panel was strapped to a long pallet. Very much.on.its own and the guys at the depot behaved as if it was the first they'd seen? I'm surmising it's a loss leader. I don't know any other mobs that are doing it at this price point?

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage
I don't know either now, they were collected from Warrington yesterday and arrived here on the south coast 9am this morning, next day delivery from a national pallet delivery company.Joeboy wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 10:21 pmI don't actually know how they do it.

We are due a downstairs bathroom rip out and refit as walk in shower. I quite liked city plumbing wee showroom so will give them the business. Would never have known about them but for the solar connection.

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage
I was about to go out to get some 18mm thick plywood as a working board on the car port roof as my previous crawling boards were rotting through. Then I realised the pallet the panels came on was 18mm plywood with steel reinforcing strips, just what I needed.
Last time I replaced the panels I used a mini tower at the front of the house which was hard work, but I reckon its going to be an easier job working from my car port.
