Reading the comments, was that one about hydrogen escape from charging
batteries a remark about an actual incident or merely a H&S survey? |

Said Harry and posted a link to a chart from a vendor of solar panels. Excuse me for pointing out the bleeding obvious, Harry, but the bits of Wales I frequented were hilly and frequently/usually covered in mist/cloud and rain. From your link, it appears that these hilly, misty & cloudy bits receive exactly the same amount of incident solar radiation as every other bit of Wales. I suspect your chart may be a tad inaccurate, Harry. |

Met Office... The hilly nature of the terrain in Wales and its proximity to the Atlantic tends to encourage cloud cover. Even so, the south-western coastal strip of Pembrokeshire manages an average annual sunshine total of over 1700 hours, which is comparable to the 1750 hours achieved by many places along the south coast of England. The dullest parts of Wales are the mountainous areas, with average annual totals of less than 1200 hours. |

The remoter areas would be more in need of an off-grid power supply. |

It's also a sales brochure, not a scientific document. |

I haven't the foggiest what one of those is. The units used (kWh/kWp) don't mean anything to me either, but I couldn't be arsed to look up what a kWp is. It's also a sales brochure, not a scientific document. Quite so, which gives those in less favoured areas, who would be in greatest need of such a product, a misleading idea of the kWh produced per annum. Harry could have found something better, I'm sure. |

Noted - your post editing of my post. You're a bit of an all round ****. |

Was it after Harry's post in which he said; "On Wednesday, September 18, 2013 6:50:29 PM UTC+1, harry wrote: It's you that's the moron." So, Harry had a go at me. I've no interest in PV, I know (or knew) a shed load about solar radiation and gains due to an interest in AC. Noted - your post editing of my post. Edited what? Split two sentences to answer each separately? A bit touchy and precious aren't you, child? You're a bit of an all round ****. Silly little boy. |
