  • For power tools and so on I can run an extension cable over from my flat, for the garage door I'd want to be able to just open or close it using the bipper.

    It's draw is ~200 watts for approx 3 mins to either open or close, which the chap at Photonic Universe seemed to think was well within the range of a fairly modest panel/inverter/battery array.

  • Makes more sense, I'm sure solar/batteries will be fine for that. Depending upon how serious the woodworking becomes its worth noting some machines (my planer/thicknesser for example) requires a 16amp supply

    I couldn't cope with having to live in a freehold property with such limitations on what I could do to it- however I live in the grim north where it always rains....

    I'm hoping to join the Herne Hill makers-space for those tools, and for the stuff I have now I know that (mildly inconvenient as it is) I can run an extension cable across from the flat.
