Fancy you never knew. Assuming ours are good because I'm generally amazed at what we produce. We had a very experienced solar guy install ours. He was installing solar way back when it was a weird thing to do!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975556587020883049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-64215867101644159382014-06-29T11:00:23.975+02:002014-06-29T11:00:23.975+02:00Harry - Thank you :) We are resticted to what we ...Harry - Thank you :) We are resticted to what we can us, electrical gadget / appliance wise.
