After much toing and froing, panicking and fretting and absolutely superb advice and guidance from our Techno100 (many thanks Andy) and Vlad the great impaler, all my solar kit has now landed.
2x100w panels, 20a MPPT controller with remote screen/control, end spoiler mounting brackets, fuse boxes, 6mm cable, ends, screws, Sikaflex, activator, etc etc. I even ended up with a mini 12v solar (briefcase) charger toboot.
:thumb:
Oh' I can feel myself getting all 'environmental' and 'dreadlocked' here, where's the trees to start hugging, chanting and my patchouli oil......
Now waiting patiently (read finger tapping) for a bit of fine (but not too cold) weather. Fitting the controller and cabling tomorrow. The 2x100w panels are going to be cabled up in series to give 24v and the MPPT will bring this to 12v to charge my 2 x 110ah batteries in parallel.
I have removed a great roof rack to fit the system - will be up for sale if anyone is after a cracking roof rack,,,, not a cheapy either.
I am REALLY, REALLY looking forward to this project. Harri Kryshna!
