We'll take 'SouthPark' length shifts, one drinking, the other hanging out the train window linking extension lead after extension lead - what can possibly go wrong! :eek:

The Lidl Connection Leads won't fit together, that's all:eek: :rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Got 5 East and 2.5 West, not a sunny day here. Tomorrow looks quite nice, and the next week looks better than I've seen for 3 months.
So much for an early night of daft American cartoons, been busy arguing over on the Solar Panel Discussion thread. What is it with people constantly bringing up old wive's stories about PV? Inverters failing every 7 years, panels only good for 25 years? This isn't new technology, it's been kicking around for 40 years or so!
Grumble, rant, grumble. Now where did I stash that moonshine. Sorry Oscar, needs must! :beer:
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

Don't worry about the Sun, I think the Moonshine might be more of the problem than the Sunshine i.e. where can you buy it from? :rotfl:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.
