Fingers crossed for similar here then! I am amazed at the volume of viewing traffic. Over 1700 online views w...

Re: Small things matter

Joe, the only wood I have experience of is Larch. Readily available, UK wood, weathers nicely untreated to give, in my opinion, a very attractive silvering. Very durable. Available in many options - rain screen, laths, T&G, ship lap. We’ve used untreated wood sourced locally that comes in a rho...

Re: Dealing with excess solar:

There is a related issue whereby with a lot of generation it can be better to charge the battery at half the rate for twice as long so you are not trying to export above your limit as soon as the battery is full.
