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. :xx: Last time I replaced the panels I u...

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

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.

A slight improvement on a couple of all time PB's yesterday (Saturday) at Nowty Towers. (nowtyPB) 1) PB of home solar PV generation of 78kWh (+1 kWh on last PB), quite surprised me as some cloud came over on a few occasions. :mrgreen: 2) PB of 69kWh (+7 kWh on last PB) exported on Octopus Outgoing. ...
