Of course whilst I had my ladder and window cleaning stuff out it was time for my annual solar panel maintenance too. A wipe over with a moist cloth. Done.
My little solar panel sits on the roof of my office, facing roughly west, where it has provided most of my office lighting needs for the last three or four years. Even at 3pm on the overcast dull November afternoon we suffered yesterday it was happily pushing out 9 Volts into my battery bank. However, the extension roof has a more southerly aspect, sort of South South West or something so I took the time to rearrange the panel onto that roof and rerun the wires. At 3.30 pm with the sun beginning to go down the panel was putting out 10.5 volts in it's new position. I look forward to even more free electric, and the possibility of running my Internet router for free from this supply.
Apologies to my regular reader who will have been expecting some sort of amusing anecdote here. This entry is purely factual and informative, but normal service will resume as soon as possible.
