Damn, there goes my next patent application.
Ah well, back to the rich-n-famous drawing board.
Again.

Screwfix carried some 5mm pipe, 25m about £30. Perfect. Pump next.

Solaluvva,

How much power have you generated recently?

Also I see you fed DC into standard AC circuit breakers - do they work as well with DC?

And what charge controller are you using?

Any progress on the cooling system?

400W is roughly in my budget, so many thanks for the details.

cheers
Paul

I remember a visit to CAT a seeing a heap of bits with a solar PV array with copper pipe running behind it. Obviously someone else had been thinking along the same lines.

Re: Cooling the panels.

How about a submersible pump in the rain butt.... it pumps water up to the panels that trickles over them and runs into the gutter and downpipe back into the rain butt.??
