Here's the start of my 400WP Solar system. I will be installing 5x BP Solar 80w panels on to a custom frame made from aluminum square tube.
Well my panels have not turned up yet due to the bad weather not that i was going to be installing them at -5! I have installed the indoor electrics ready for the feed from the panels. I have also wired a direct feed from the inverter output to the consumer unit.

Finally got both sets of panels on the roof today with the help of Ben the roofer. Now running 960watts via two soladin 600's. Just need to clip and tidy the cables tomorrow.
