Re: Small things matter

Joe, Just a thought but how well attached is the facia board and are some of your screws going to be catching the ends of the roof trusses? Nice one Ian, thank you. I literally walked out into back garden and thought "600mm centres", or is it 800mm? A trip to the loft is required! The pan...

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

Now in operational service, still got to add my anti pigeon brush surround and paint the exposed rails. :mrgreen: Also my metalwork was sent to the wrong address so I had to bodge the extension rails for now, thats another job to do but it should not be too bad.

Re: Idiot's guide to a self build battery

Nice to see the soc climb rate on charge slow right down with the extra capacity. There's 0.85A difference in charging between old stack and new stack with 1.4kW incoming PV and no home demand.
