    A month till Winter Solstice now.

    If the sun does come out it gets blocked by hedges, trees and alsorts before it reaches the solar panels. Three weeks either side is the time you have to juggle charging things from the solar array.

    Thought I'd try to take a pic of the sun's angle at noon (when it comes out) to see how low it gets before the 21st December.

    Trees shrubs and low sun angle is exactly why I would not go solar. Not to mention that I would never allow that set up on the roof or pastures. I got enough to clean By the end of winter everything is covered in green moss that doesn’t move. Just more places for the squirrels to hide their watch for winter.

    Ziggs hope you manage to get the solar - sun- on the right path since the angles are a bit low this time of year.
