Let there be LIGHT!

Installed the solar power system over the weekend

2 X 150ahr AGM deep cycle batteries
1 X 160W solar panel
1 X 30amp solar regulator/charger
1 X 1000W pure sine inverter with two 240V outlets
1 X 12V cigarette lighter socket
1 X Volt meter

I used slotted angle to mount the 160W Solar panel to the shed, this makes it adjustable to allow for the changing Solar altitude throughout the year

Next will be the scope install (and eventually the coffee machine)
