Thanks for sharing. Which panels did you use? You may have been able to get some taller panels on there to take advantage of the space you've got. I believe it only needs a gap of 30cm at the bottom and 40cm at the top.

Thank you for watching the video. Good observation and I agree. These are the 8.33 430 1899x1096. We bought these in early 2023 and there was still a shortage of supplies in the UK so the choice was scarce.

@@solarenergyconcepts Do you have a link to a data sheet for those panels? They're an unusual size, being taller and less wide than most of the panels of that wattage - which tend to be 113cm wide. I'd hazard a guess that you didn't get them from City Plumbing? Also, I can't make out the usual cell pattern so I'm wondering if they're shingled?

@chrisnortheast888 Yes, they're shingled. There's a link to the datasheet from this page: www.solartradesales.co.uk/8-33-solar-430w-full-black-30mm-mono-shingled-cell-solar-panel?cat=9698

@@solarenergyconcepts Thanks for that, something to think about for a future project. I'd need to get few though to justify the £95 delivery cost.
