Solar panels

Here are the photos we promised of the solar panels. They've been in for a couple of weeks now but are still not hooked up to batteries...any time now. We're waiting on the mezzanine to be built in the carport, for the batteries to be placed on.





A grid was installed first and the panels were fixed to these. The guys spent most of the day installing the panels.

The panels look quite good on the carport roof. They are in a prime position (facing north) to collect the sun's energy.

Most of the electrical fittings are in (just a few lights and power points) and the waste water treatment tank is in but we're still waiting for the dispersal lines (which the treated water empties out through, underground) to be installed. Have had A LOT of rain over past week (each of our 22 000L tanks is full!) which has held things up.

Also waiting on the arrival of our bamboo floorboards...another hold-up with these.
