I think we'll be in by the end of April. Yep they're all good thanks!

_Another_ 200W. You'll have to connect to the grid and get a feed-in tariff. Hope your regulator is up to the job?

Glad all is well .had to buy a 35amp controller although I haven't seen anything that the old one couldn't cope with yet ie10amps . Easily keeping up with consumption during the day but still have to be careful night times!!

We've only got 160W of panels but see 12A on occasion. I guess the sun's still a little low, but can't you angle yours?

Terry, you around Plymouth at the moment? We will be down most weekends from now on so if you fancy a brew and a chat, that would be great! We are only up the way at YHQ.
