In The Shed Today

[RuddyCrazy]

Well with finishing nightshift this morning it was my start to the long weekend so with my plan of getting that 3.4Kw of solar on the roof bugger any sleep as I wanted to get it sorted. Well the rails the panels came with are cheap ching junk and they used SS bolts into a ali base and all bar 2 were welded tight :angry-banghead:

So into M&M and all up $600 later all new panel mounts fixings everything :handgestures-thumbupleft: then went and looked at the rego on my ute and it bloody ran out last Monday :scared-eek: so more $$$ to fork out.

Anyway got everything home and the esky charged with beer and ice :handgestures-thumbupleft: so a few longnecks before falling over later for a decent long sleep.

Cheers Bryan

Well wouldn't you know it only had enough enough panel mounts to mount the 1.9Kw panels :angry-banghead: So in the morning going to ring a mobile number for M&M and tell them they made my order short so get get off ya ass and come in to get them for me :laughing-rolling: Anyway I did go short on the feet for the rails so that is one fix :angry-banghead:

Anyway picked up that whisky head and man I was surprised at the size :scared-eek: but one thing I do want to do is take pic for you guy's with my new pot still setup just so I can see if I do need to make a new PC for it :laughing-rolling: Man it just may give me something to do next week but as the shop won't work for me getting those 3"fitting may be a challenge :laughing-rolling: So I may just to make my own as if I've done my job with the solar I can get some shed time to finish my section roller and I can make my own flanges.

But with a mate there is a talk of honey and what I can do with it :handgestures-thumbupleft: as it has been done before it hasn't got the Bryan treatment :laughing-rolling: so this just may be interesting. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers Bryan

Well after a very long day I'm sitting back sucking down some of that sparking ale I bottled at xmas :obscene-drinkingchug: man 3 months aging has made this a much better drop than pale ale :laughing-rolling:

Anyway Friday I put 1.9Kw of solar the roof and did intend putting up the 1.5Kw array but with my $600 order from M&M they forgot to put in the panel clamps for the 1.5Kw array :angry-banghead:

Well I was on the roof at 8am wiring up these panels and it was just after 5pm when the wiring was in the shed so a couple of hours in the shed will make for a easy day tomorrow as I just need to hook this up :handgestures-thumbupleft:

A home made 150 volt 45 amp MPPT mounted in one of those grid tie box's I got with the panels, I mean why go spend 2K on a commercial which these only works just after the warranty period ends then lets out the magic smoke. :scared-eek: Atleast with a homemade one if the smoke does get out one can fix it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Todd picked that IBC grain bin yesterday so Wellsy that wait may just end but it may take awhile for it to get filled :laughing-rolling:

Cheers Bryan
