Excellent. We’re about 20kwh all day so with crafty usage you could have great back up when grid goes down.
Also wise on buying early. I’m being quoted 40 weeks for a three phase investor currently.

Oh jeez, I think they’ve already accounted for all the inverters required for the system.. fingers crossed!
@Cupcakes ah darn, whereabouts are you? Are you about for long?
@user147336 no reason really, other than we thought it might look nice.. I think the joiners were kind of stumped about how to do the seam midway through a window unit but have come up with a fantastic solution.
Gave a bunch of rooms in the house a second coat yesterday before the tiles are down. We got a little rain yesterday too which has cleaned the dust off that solar panel. Reckon it looks even prettier now @Velocio @Cazakstan ?

Thanks so much, and honestly, hard as it is to believe, it was just luck! The pitch of the roof was decided by council planning, the dimensions of the space was just us drawing out the maximum we thought we could afford to build (3 years ago now) and hoping for the best. We tried to buy other panels (that wouldn’t have fitted as well, or generated as much) multiple times, but, due to stock and manufacturing issues orders were cancelled or we couldn’t get a hold of them. It was our sparky who said he’d bought half a pallet of these, he thought 14 would fit our roof and did we want to make that order up to a full pallet before it was shipped? We were having such a hard time getting a hold of anything that we just jumped at the opportunity. Still mind boggling how perfectly they sit there, and we ended up with 1kwh more solar production than we had hoped for too!
@SomethingOrOther yeah uh huh, we’ve got 20kwh of victron batteries for going in. Fortunately we ordered and paid for them a couple months ago so they’re sitting in the uk with our supplier and will be coming up soon now the workshop is watertight. We’ll have 6kw of production from the turbine and 5.1kw from the solar.
@ChainBreaker I know what you mean. The way the sun was when I came home the day they fit them it didn’t look like they had a chance to get it done because it just looked like the roof..
