Be careful you don't end up with all the gear and no idea, as I almost have. Getting loats of batteries could be like putting a V8 engine in a mini!! Not very practical! 😊 I've just got a Sunsynk battery system around a week ago and still learning to fly it to it's best capabilities. 5kw...

Mine is a rent-a-roof scheme and my good friend who was director of a big business importing solar panel equipment at the time provided the kit and I installed it myself. We actually got signed into the scheme 1 week before the limit dropped to 4kw. So he gets the FITS payments, called ROC...

It's 140 feet long former commercial poultry shed and now my giant man cave. My point was more about being put off by any negativity. There's people near me that have panels on steel frames along the bottom or side of their gardens. You don't even need a building!!

Don't get too focusses on the angle and direction of your roof. I have 40 panels on my shed roof which has a shallow angle and faces South East. The sun rises on the wrong side of the roof but I still get strong solar generation from 10am til around 5 pm at the moment. My inverter restricts the...

I have solar panels on my shed roof. They have been running very reliably for 8 years this month. I am an electrician so installed the whole system myself. Happy to advise with real world facts and figures, rather than speculative twaddle.

There's not much greater pleasure than watching free electricity being generated. I can't wait to be running my new MY on free sunshine power. Aussie Pete, you will find the sun gets stronger as the year moves into spring and summer and your panels will generate more power. My panels peak at...

She's just had a massive rent increase then! Shhhhhhh 🤭

Yes, heating the property with oil and a new condensing oil boiler. We moved my elderly mother in law in a couple of years ago and she buys all the oil by way of rent, so free heating for me 👍

I have 40 solar panels running through an inverter that limits the generation to a max of 5.5kw. It's been running for the last 7 years. Initially it reduced my electricity bills to one third. I don't own the panels, it's a rent-a-roof set up so I don't get any payments just savings. I've just...

I'll have a good read of your blog this evening as I'm very interested too. I have a 40 solar panel array producing a frequent peak of 5.5kw, but no battery storage just yet. I've bought a Zappi charger as it came distinguish between the solar generation and mains voltage and charge the car at...
