    Hi

    If they really looked like that you'd probably have downed a couple of bottles of wine, or there's a serious problem with heights which effects the eyesight ... ;):D

    New bendy panels to fit on uneven roofs! This might give a better view of them :)

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Well spotted! Yup, the bottom roof gets a lot more shade so decided it wasn't worth it but at the old rate it probably would have still given a decent return.

    Now that was funny!

    Fish eye lens panels, I wonder if they work underwater, you could line a swimming pool with them. Hang on, I think I've thought of a problem there, would 250V+ help or hinder your performance at freestyle?

    It would certainly wake you up in the morning.

    M&S Home Insurance didn't require any additional premium when we added our panels, but we made sure they noted our conversation so that they had a record of us notifying them of the installation.
