    Fantastic set up!! Great to have friends like Chris to help when needed and vice versa. With this solar panel system you certainly have all the power you will ever need for the Bar area.

    Andy you remind me of how my husband built our home. You are so conscientious and a true craftsman. Glad Sharon is healing, lots of prayers for her. What a great friend in Chris. Tilly is getting so big :) She is such a joyous addition to the family and the youtube.

    As a woman with very, very little idea about solar power, the associated contraptions and wiring, even the names of these things, I would like to tell you how much I appreciate you including us in your thought processes. I actually learn something or have a point of reference which I then can return to when in doubt. Thankyou. It's been fun accompanying you both on your journey up-to-date. When the BBQ is fired up, throw a 'shrimp' ( prawn) on it and have a beer for me. Prost! 🍻🍺

    If the noise bothers you in the future, you could probably pad the door a little more so you don’t hear it, hopefully that will work.

    Good look at the solar setup there Andy, cheers for that. I’m going to be doing a small setup soon to power my ham radios and CB from a leisure battery so it was good to see. I got a 12v breaker to go between the panel and the controller, but hadn’t thought of the breaker/fuse between the controller and the battery..thanks for the heads up, better safe than sorry and all that..great video and well done Chris for helping..and making it to the third step of a ladder..I seem to remember he isn’t keen on heights 😬😆👍

    • @FincaLife
      @FincaLife  3 месяца назад +1

      Cheers Mark. It's always a good idea to consider a fuse or breaker on any live feed - Avoid those MC4 plug in fuses - they don't last very long. We now always use decent DC breakers

    I have a very strong curiosity about the cost of solar power, the panels and and the inverter cost. My husband thinks it’s not worth doing at our ages we are 60 years old. I’m much more interested in saving the Earth for future generations than he is.

    Hey Sharon and Andy, yur both awesome and like machines…. Never stopping and grinding on..😊
    Love your content and makes my week when your videos come up on my subscribers list.
    Can I ask, how much those solar panels cost and the suppliers name?

    • @FincaLife
      @FincaLife  3 месяца назад

      We got them from Leroy Merlin but many places sell them for a similar price 79€ a panel for 405W

    Andy, why oh why don’t you make yourself an outside bench? I see you struggling on the ground, with various saws, when life could be so much easier, you have the weather out there in southern Spain, so come on mate, no excuses👍
