Set up the small solar panel and wired some 12 volt LED strip lights in the poly tunnel …..just to try out the system ,and all working fine …...testing the position of the panel ….the charge controller (came with the panel) has no digital display ….bar one green light showing its powered up and working …..I have bought a new all singing digital controller and a better inverter , delivery by 4th January …..I will order some 100 watt panels and deep cycle batteries within the coming weeks .


Set up the fan heater in the small poly tunnel this morning and setting the thermostat (as I type) getting everything set up for germinating seeds ,I will be ready to rock at the drop of a hat.

So I need to read up on solar to gain more knowledge on how much power I can get set against bare minimum needs and see how many batteries I need.

Happy new year to you and to all at SUK.

Not sure what you will running off the batteries but try and avoid using the inverter if you can help it. If possible use DC to DC converters to save power loss.
