Progress this weekend.

2024-07-14-Garage-progress.jpg


I've made up the last two combiner boxers, the second from the left isn't really a combiner as its only going to be a single string, but it keeps it looking neat.

The larger one combines three strings for the west north west house roof array, its is all wired up internally as much as I can for the moment, but I've run out out 35mm cable, and also 16mm cable for the rear wall string. Also the actual PV cables are not yet run in.

The MPPT's haven't arrived yet, with a bit of luck they'll arrive this week.

Got to cut the grass, and hedges, but if I get time later I need to lift one of the decking boards so I can run the PV cables under it from the house to the garage.

What did they do lol

Scafolders are a pain, they tend to prefer to use your place for storage until the next job
They can do, but hoping that as I've treated the guy well looking after his vehicles for many years, he'll look after me. His workers though owe me no favours, not even sure they would have known who they were putting scaffolding up for (I was at work).
How much was the scaffold/extent of it if you don't mind me asking?
Got it cheap, as per above.
