Well
@KWOZ they sound like the normal problems so youv'e come out good, Solar really is pretty simple but the descriptions can tend to get a bit over techo and just tends to cloud the issue, you don't need to know how or why the engine in your car works and the same with most of the electrical stuff, just takes a bit of common sense to plug it all together ........... thought there are some who shouldn't be allowed to turn on a power point let alone rig something up.....
When you ready ask the question about how to and what to buy and we can join the dots for you, it doesn't need to be a big name $$$ spend either plenty of good quality stuff for half the price of the big name brands you don't need to pay a brand tax.
