The scaffold arrives and the panels are delivered in a very large box. | The scaffolding is erected on the last sunny day to be seen all month. | The panels are stored in the garage. |
The first roof tiles are removed. | A wall mounted cable looked too ugly so the armoured cable is buried under the block drive and threaded up a 32mm waste pipe to the meter box for neatness. A large hole is drilled through the garage floor. |
Roof brackets for the panel securing rails are put in place. | The Inverter is opened to connect the data cable. |
The control gear is installed on an 18mm ply board. | The data logger is fixed in position. | The completed control panel and schematic neatly fitted behind the garage door and above head height. |
The first panels are hoisted into position - in torrential rain. |
And one by one they are clamped to the guide rails. |
Two down, twelve to go. | All done. | The clouds provide an ominous backdrop. |
The meter box. | The paving restored | and the scaffold removed. |
