    I would like to thank all those who responded to my first ever thread about trying to set up and use renewable energy at bottom of garden. All the points were well made and very valid as well as being useful in my education.

    In the meantime I havee the important job of siting my poachers kettle as most immediate problem is to get fresh tea brewing down there.


    thanks very much

        Sorry

        Sorry Watergarden,
        I think I must have reversed it somehow with 80w at £250....although I've just seen ad for a caravan/boat kit of 3X 80w plus regulator etc for £299... it does seem that by the time you get batteries etc it is not really worth the effort.


        Cheers
