I have run out of viable space (that Mrs will let me use) to house my inverter and battery for when my solar arrives next month (GivEnergy). So have been looking at alternatives. Originally looked at stainless steel and GRP kiosks but that was going to cost me nearly £1500.
So now i am thinking just making a 2m x 1m x 0.4m wooden box with a plywood mounting plate and doors to house this and sit in my front yard in the corner. Insulate it for the cold months. The drive is north facing so hardly gets any sun.
Has anyone done this in their system? i was a bit sceptical of using wood but i reckon it should be ok as long as its pressure treated, can brave the elements and was thinking of putting a rubber roof on it.....
Any thoughts if this is viable and also safe ?
