Solar repair in Cornwall

[Lizzie]

Hi all,
I’m currently near Polperro in Cornwall. After various upgrades to my van conversion electrical system, my solar is still not working properly. I’m looking for somewhere down here that has cable and can help me run a new cable from the PV to the MPPT. If that’s not the issue then I know my panels need replacing Anyone know of anywhere in the area?
Thank you!

Very kind of you, thanks. I have a prior engagement so I’m heading to the Lizard tomorrow but if I haven’t found anywhere before then, when I’m heading back, I’ll drop you a line.

I've also answered your cry for help on WC. About 25 miles away in Plymouth is Batteries and Solar, who added a second 100W panel to my system. Contact details etc. in the link below:

I called in to these people the other week for lengths of cut cable. Very impressed with his set up.
Just north of Truro.

Thank you to everyone who answered my post, and @rambrose, sir you are a kind, generous, patient genius and I couldn’t have done it without you. The problem was a second Solar charge controller on the back of the panels, obviously not playing nicely with the victron I installed inside. After a few hours, many tools and lots of testing, bypassing the second controller, putting in some decent cable from the roof down, and I have real Solar juice flowing for the first time. I’m so happy right now
