Building them yourself sounds difficult but it really isn't. My wife can do it under supervision. It's really just making some end...

Panels have different working voltages. I was fortunate to find four 12v (nominal) panels that had the same working voltage. They are...

If its not raining tomorrow I'll take a photo for you We have a 700 ah battery bank I have the roof of my cockpit (Prout Quasar so...

I've had LiFePo for just over 4 years now on an all electric boat (no gas but diesel engines) and have 2100w of solar - we cook...

When buying and selling a house, under Scots Law the phrase IIRC is 'essential to use of the property'. So unless specifically excluded...

I installed 400AH of LiFEPO4 to replace 400AH of Trojan LA, together with the associated chargers etc. I currently don't have solar...
