Very happy so far with my Indra Smart Pro charger. App dead simple etc. Pedestals are available. For example: https://shop.ukevinstallers.co.uk/product/value-indra-smart-pro-charger-post-pedestal-square-post-with-plinth/

Lamplec for my Fusebox consumer units generally. TLC for most other bits.

I'm guessing nobody usually does this but I'm intending "shading" the installed 3 panels temporarily when done with a "99%" solar reflective blanket(s). Probably secured with bungee cords. This so the unfilled panels don't overheat. The idea being I can finish the roof side pretty much, have all the tubes up there, fitted and safely out of the way. Then concentrate on inside the loft which is another mission. I'll fill the system later on.

😡 In the cold light of day, in fact a cold dark day which matches my mood, I reckon I'm going to have to shift the brackets to offer better support to the extended rails. It's going to mean I think messing around with some ridge tiles on the hips to get the end brackets in on the top rail. Ah well! 4 brackets as is: Back to having a centre one and 5 brackets per rail:

Don't think I adjusted it or anything when it went it. It's just all"worked", forever.

Decided I definitely want to get a proper ladder between the panels and at each end. Meant extending the unistrut by 880 mm. Of course now the end overhang looks a bit silly so I'm debating adding another bracket at each end

I must have told my lad 110mm internal diameter 🤭 this is mind just a lightweight prototype print: That's obviously a 45⁰ bend rather than as 90 but it's just proof of concept. The pipes will run through it within rockwool type insulation.

Prototype flashing for the tube entry:

Render of a 3D printed tile flashing. It'll get CT1'd to the tile. A 110mm elbow will sit on top of this:

How much? 😬

Geberit. The End.

It'll be pumped, will 15mm make much difference?

Not necessarily... My EV charger required a DP (double pole) RCBO, which that Contactum one isn't, then that it be Type C which that one clearly isn't and also be bidirectional which again, that isn't. I guess different chargers might ask for something different...

Would these corrugated stainless pipes do as the interconnects at the top of the panel between panels 1 and 2 then panel 2 and 3? https://ebay.us/m/hHy3Fm Various sizes. I presume I just equally space my panels on the rail and pick the right length /end fitting pipe? Then the pipes through the roof at each end of the array, same stuff or copper? A lad I'm talking to on another forum reckons he's used copper throughout, his system has been up and running 12 years with no issues.

Is it an MCB or an RCBO? A picture would help.

Something like this probably. I'm not BUYING a proper flashing. Going to wet diamond drill the tile and 3D print flashings. All glued down with CT1.

It's finally happening: Using unistrut instead of proper channel so had to get creative with some 3D printed spacers:

Totally different conversation in Brighton for example.

I like Dulux Diamond Matt.

Just read this. Would have been happy to help. Use the printer here all the time for practical purposes.
