SolisCloud App monitoring of our PV system
The system has been working for a few weeks now and with no load the PV panels just top up out batteries each day :)

Fault finding and fixing watering pump wiring using PV power
Andy and myself have been fault-finding and fixing the water sprayer cables today :) Great teamwork and first use of mains power from the container :)
Painted over the PV mounting screws
Painted over the mounting screws for the PV system with green paint and tried a 12v 240 vac mains transformer to power the existing 12v LED lamp :)
PV system external GSM antenna wired up
External antennae wired up and a few experiment LoRaWAN environmental sensors in the polytunnels :) Waiting on the post for a cable when it arrives in a few days I will then seal/paint and get interior light working again :) Will make better boxes in Mens Shed!
Paudie finished the solar PV install.
I've just agreed to four hip high 240 vac sockets in the container as this will save us bending down and be ideal to power any work being done on tables :) All done except for me to fix an outside antenna (so we can remotely monitor) and to touch up container with green paint. :) Surprisingly the GSM signal is getting out of the container so we can monitor using SolisCloud app and credentials shown :) As there is no mains connection (we are off-grid) it is raising an alarm. For now this can just be ignored.
