When we left Germany 10 years ago , did tell my girlfriends Grandpapa , we move South !

he thought like always Tongue

i am a bid mad .... and we showed him on the Map that i was right to say the place we live now in Ireland is more South then his place in Germany Grin

Anyhow i played a while with one PV panel to figure out the right direction

South is not always the best , in my case it is south-south -west , cause to shade in winter in the morning and mist , but very long evenings with clear skies
