Re: Solar panel install
Are they wired up yet, or do I have to crawl under them from the open end and do that when I get there 
Couldn't you tread water long enough to get the last 2 panels on

Re: Solar panel install
Not wired up yet Terry.
I've got the short lengths of wire that have the receiving ends of MC4 tied along the very front edge and the rear edge. Easy to reach.
Should be easy peasy from my collapsible ladder (or Chucks if mine breaks!)
Shouldn't be that hard to put another 2 cells up there as there is really enough space for 1 & half more width wise.
I have to head home for a few days so I'm doing some of the bigger jobs before I go.
Most of the goodies should be at home by now........... friend has been gathering them as they arrive.
I assume you received your Victron safely T1?

Re: Solar panel install
Yes, received my Victron, thank you very much for that. Time is ticking away and I've got so much to do before we can leave. Wish this rain would bugger off to some that wants the stuff

Re: Solar panel install
Yesterday or the day before if I could figure out how to do it Bernie. We living in the 21st century, surely there must be a better method of watering the lawn
I blame the cuts to the public service for this problem, if the had the staff the public works dept could have stationed the rain over the dams till they were full, then moved it where it was needed, I'm not too lazy to water the lawn once a mth, whether it needs it or not
