The solar panel – at last


It seems like ages since we had the delivery of the thermal store and the solar panel. Well … it was over a month ago. Still, it’s pretty well all done now, although I’m hoping Peter will be able to help us getting the pump to quieten down a bit.

I finally got my wits about me to go onto the roof last Wednesday, and after endless trips up and down the ladder, even more trips to B&Q, and various rants about instruction manuals, it all actually works.
Luckily we have had some sunny days since to give it a good try out and it is quite impressive, although not so good as I had hoped on cloudier days.

The best thing about the job was perched up on the roof looking at the alpacas in the field, who were probably wondering what I was doing up there ….. daft humans!

    I’m impressed with your website and blog and even more impressed with you tackling the thermal store and solar power. Like you I had hoped for more solar power on cloudy days.
