Rich & Sharon 🎁

So we're out, out! Uber into town, & on the marina. Still coat weather here despite the sun! 🥶 Sharon's had to double up on the hosiery, tights, then fishnets for the extra insulation! 🌡🤪 My Wife looks great 👌 Cheers 🍺🍻🍸🍾🥂

@RobWakes Thanks Rob 😁👍 Put a similar photo on a Facebook DIY solar group, and I'm getting countless shit! So your positive response is appreciated 😄

@HullTeslaModel3 Nice job 👍🏽

That's it we're done!! DIY solar pergola! 🌞👌 Hard work, but all four of us worked together to get them on. Few swear words might have been uttered! 🤪

@StephenTache Could just eat a bit of pork pie 🥧

I feel an opportunity was missed here for Pork P'Highway as the road name. Nevertheless a good choice for Melton Mowbray. BBC News - New Melton Mowbray bypass named Pork Pie Way after public vote - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@mrmikeMTL I have no clue! I don't need anything!

at your age, what's the perfect gift???

@davidjamesdj @YorkshireHodler Can't feed it into the car. Basic power into the consumer unit. But if it's sunny, and warm we run the AC, so it'll take care of that and the background draw. Yes on DNO, simple notification.

@HullTeslaModel3 @YorkshireHodler The house doesn’t usually draw much during the day, unless you feed it into the car ?

@YorkshireHodler No, it'll just cancel out the bulk of our day time background draw 😁👍

@HullTeslaModel3 Looking superb! Will you be connecting them to a battery?

@windymint1 Under 2.5m, within a metre of boundary, so permissible without planning. Not affecting the neighbours, any rain run off is on our side ☔️

@HullTeslaModel3 Did you need planning permission, the neighbours will love it 😎

I've been at it since before 9am, not stopped. Rafters, rails on, all strengthened, hex head heavy duty screws, truss clips etc Sharon's just got home, and is now helping. No comments about her ample derriere 🍑😁 She's a lot more useful than the skinny model type 😁

@wass74 Sharon's just opening us a bottle of wine, cheers Nigel 🍻

Cheers 🍻 folks 👌 to a nice different drop 🍺

@graeme_cobb It almost went awry at one moment, but we rescued it 😁 Fair play to those professional installers slinging these huge panels up on high roofs!

@HullTeslaModel3 Looks good 👍

@Poshopaul007 Yes, well ours will be going into a fused spur, but yes same principal.

@HullTeslaModel3 is that a micro inverter ? thats plugs into the mains ?

@Poshopaul007 It's well built, it won't go anywhere, I've made sure of that 😀

@HullTeslaModel3 Make sure all the screws and bolts are tie down you don't want it blowing off in the wind 👍

@Poshopaul007 Hoymiles 800W grid tied inverter. Don't have it just yet... but the hard work is done now.

@HullTeslaModel3 Good job 👍👍 what solar controller are you getting ?

@wildandhigh 😁😁😁

@HullTeslaModel3 Who will join me in a drink for all of those with an ample derriere?

@takenocrap69 @scottfarnham85 Might as well use the garage 😁👌

@HullTeslaModel3 @scottfarnham85 Had a local installer quote (no 0% tho) but more panels added onto garage and battery inside the garage.

Electricians have swapped our CU this morning for the latest, bi-directional RCBOs, SPD. And the gear has arrived for my pergola, weekend family project 😁 SWA, glands, cleats, IP66 fused spur going in soon after. Plug in solar on track 👍

@smallrougeone Thanks Rob 😁 Great sense of achievement.

@HullTeslaModel3 Looking great 👌

@SJBATIE Thanks Steve 😁 Sharon said she's happy it's all up, as I might stop going on about it! 😁😁

@HullTeslaModel3 Well done all. Reap the benefits.

@jamesfooker1 More privacy 👌

@HullTeslaModel3 Bet the neighbours love u ... not lol

@MotorsCambridge Yes, it should take care of our daytime background draw. So we'll use a chunk of it without a battery. Waiting on Boxt with the Tesla related solar deal... if that looks good we'll go for that too 😁👌

@HullTeslaModel3 Looking good will you be putting in grid or are you getting a battery

@Titch_Sheep Not according to the fastensol manual, well not for landscape anyway 😁

@HullTeslaModel3 Do the panel rails not usually go horizontally 🤓

@takenocrap69 Just having a beer, all finished 🍺 Going to paint it tomorrow.

@HullTeslaModel3 Working hard mate 👏
