Hahaha...apart from the dubious angle, them downstairs will be in complete darkness with the lights on!
I'll stick with the curtains open.

Sorry mate , the post before this was "Liked" by me for good reason !

But that house is one of the most unsightly installs i have yet seen , I know I have just judged it on aesthetics alone and this smacks a little of "The solar police" mentality , but it is installs like this that get people suggesting that solar is a blight on our landscape !

Again i am sorry if i have offended you as your post before shows a very tidy solution indeed for the containment on that job, but i feel for that install i had to say something .

Wow, I can't believe the planning department allows people to install panels on their front wall. I know nothing about solar PV so I'm not knocking your installation, I just know if that was one of my neighbours I wouldn't be a happy camper having to look at it every day.

They definitely wouldn't in a conservation area, well not on permitted development grounds anyway, that'd be pretty dubious if anyone challenged it IMO.

Still, I suppose as long as the customer was made aware of this, and insisted upon it being done like that then on their head be it. I just hope they get on well with their neighbours, otherwise they could be in trouble.

I refuse to comment on the above, the purpose really was to showcase good installs and hopefully good installation practices ...

Neat installtion, though why didn't you just mount the meter on top of the box and feed the cables through from the back?

That would work, we have did that way before, although would like to keep the cables in the enclosure with the metal frame work.

I'm thinking a clear Perspex box for the next 1.

Pleasure to see a nice neat installation - good work well done, guessing a three phase 10kW? - do the inverters have a DC isolator built in to them, and presumably more than one mppt tracker?
