Solar

Thought I’d check the solar today as it’s nice and sunny first picture is the the panels flat and second one up at about 80 degrees as you can see it make a big difference.

I'm happy that you posted that because when I said that tilted panels made a big difference I was shot down in flames. The shooter had got his info from google.

Actually today is one of those rare Winter days when the atmosphere is very clear and makes a big difference to solar harvesting.

Like you Jim there has never been any doubt about tilting them but you do get the odd arsehole lololol

For those that are thinking what about if it’s windy that is very easy you DONT put them up lol.

I've seen decent improvements tilting too. But, go on, what's the theoretical maximum of your panels?

Nice one Jeff. I’ve had about 200 max out of mine but that was in Cairo on the 25th of july. I see you got a big roof mounted flag pole too

So 220 now is pretty good!

How many hours did it maintain that for Geoff? Would give me a lot more but still short of what I use, of course it would extend the time I didn't need to top up. May have to pay a visit yet
