Hi Julian
Thanks for the run down.
I have learnt the hard way about energy release in a battery bank.
I left heavy leads connected to my battery bank laying on the ground.
Well whilst out my dogs rolled around on them and I came home to burnt cables, didn't ruin the battery as something must have burnt thru or one of the dogs had the sence to separate them, maybe not but I know Lassie would have, and lucky there was no fire.
Really lucky all round.
I am toying with adding a large water tank up the hill to be filled via solar and add a peltie wheel.
But I have not got around to working any figures out...they use a lot of water but another production unit would be good.
I need to measure the fall next time as a starting point.
Alex
