    This is really interesting! Perhaps something for me to look in to with my techy brother in law. 😊
  2. Hevs
    Yes I am.

    I was charging my laptop at the time and plugging in to the shoreline.
  4. Hevs
    You guys 😊. Honestly just desperate for answers so it's not without a catch 😁
  5. Hevs
    This was so helpful! Honestly, thank you so much.

    I have a baffle plate! 😓 Just checked and I found the brick too

    I am monitoring my batteries through the victron app which links to my inverter (I think). Thanks for the recommendation 😀

    This makes alot of sense! The red alarm on the inverter was going off week before last. This was due to the shoreline power cord being broken, so hadn't been charging the battery. So perhaps the the surge in power generated was recharging the batteries as they were low. However, the battery volts are still below 14 and the batteries were new when I fitted the panels recently. Doesn't that mean they should still be charging better from the solar panels? They haven't yet surpassed 14v.

    No panels are shaded and the battery is measuring 13.2 volts throught the victron app and inverter.

    Hi all. I am new to boating and just installed solar panels on my roof. I have two 400w panels and don't seem to be generating alot of electricity. Today it has been glorious sunshine, almost no clouds in the Midlands area and I generated 410wh. This is less than yesterday - which was very, very grey. About 2 weeks ago, on a day less lovely than today I generated 2.17kwh. Which is significantly more. There is nothing shading my panels, they are a tad mucky in the corners though. Should they be generating more? What are you guys generating with similar set ups? Thanks for all of your help in advance. Heather.

    I'm definitely not burning sticks I pick up because I read up on how it's important to have properly dried wood when I am burning it. Could it be the wood I am buying bagged from supermarkets? I did notice that some of the wood had some very thick, dried sap on it. Not sure if that is normal or not.

    That sounds very scary 👀🥺. I don't want to think too hard about what might have happened. Not sure what this now means for my flue though... I haven't had the plate off yet. One of my jobs for the next few weeks is to reseal the chimney and the flue so I guess I'll find out. The stove had never been used when i bought it, even though it was fitted four years before.

    I don't smoke! So it's definitely not me. It is predominantly on the side closest to my stove, I can see black ash and scorch marks on the roof all around the chimney and I caught it once when it was going like the clappers at night time. The chimney was glowing orange and there with embers flying out. Some holes were about the size of the tip of my thumb, others tiny.

    I have a morso squirrel stove fitted around 2018.
  16. Hevs
    I burn coal, logs and kindling in a squirrel stove. I find it to be the opposite - the stove and the boat doesn't get very warm in the winter. Not as warm as other boaters describe it. I have swept the chimney twice and used a brick to clean it once due to the fact there is tar in the chimney that I am trying to get rid of. I have been buying materials that are specifically for multifuel stoves so I don't really understand why the tar is build up in the first place.
