Wanted

Hi Barnacle, I am possibly going to get a full solar installation now which includes these brackets, so I probably wouldn't order now. That said, I think there defiantly is. Market for them so good luck. If I find any to measure I'll forward it on. Best Rob

Or water trapped underneath...

Really really useful link for me right now, thank you!

Yeah, I think a 6 panel auto system might adjust the budget a little... It would look cool though! We are about to invest in 600w Solar which will effectively turn our roof into our generator, I still think the simplest and most elegant (?) solution if the triangle things. Clearly there is a small market for these so I shall price up a batch with our local fabricators. Unless someone else actually wants to make a business out of it and charge a lot less than 45 quid!

Yep, a big ball if I remember

Hmmm also interesting..

I was thinking if making some, will look into it..

Solar brackets http://www.littlechimneycompany.co.uk/solar-panel-brackets/4582025815 I need 6 pairs but I am sure I have seen them for so much cheaper than £45. Any clues?

Harefield is a lovely spot but quite open, good chandlers and services. There are a couple of moorings at Brentford Island at the moment, not a million miles away..

That's really smart mike, I like it.

That might be why they want it...

Yes, it would be to run 240, you are not wrong in that I should do an audit first but I would still want a power back up, If there is one thing I have learnt with boats it's that things break when you need them most. My plan is to run the generator on LPG, with an amoured hose from my gas locker that gets stowed when not in use.

That took me a while..

I can't see how the two are comparable. For some it is cheaper, for others it isn't. It does work out a little cheaper for us given our personal circumstances and life choices, but as I say, the two arnt really comparable.

There is enough fixed deck around the boards to bolt down without worry. I too favor Bizzes idea. I guess the reason why I want a gene is because of winter really. I often wonder what long term damage Is done with an engine running idle. Glazed bores etc. Cheers all, lots to ponder

If you are happy to work a lock or bridge when nobody is coming the other way then surely it shouldn't matter if you meet someone right?

Could it not be that the answers hold as much within how they are presented as to how they are recived? I don't think 100% of the ownus should be on the person asking the question.
