Hi, Just wondering what type of controller you're using & how you're finding the system overall?
I'm considering an east / west system myself due to the orientation of my house.
Thanks,
Fionn.

sorry i took so long. i use a tdc3 from navitron it works well. if i were to change things i would get 2x30 because we don't get much sun in scotland and i would find a way to insulate the bottom of my cylinder as there is a lot of heat loss (wish i had known before)
