Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

@stephen_usher what wattage are the panels out of interest?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: General Stuff(tm)
So, I seem to have produced over 5KWh of power today... And that's with this morning being dingey and the scaffolding still being up causing some shading of the panels.
The negative values are the battery charge rate.

Re: General Stuff(tm)
The scaffolding has gone so I can take reasonable pictures on the solar install.

Re: General Stuff(tm)
Looks good to me Stephen, Its something similar I'd be looking for as we have an east/west facing roof just don't have the shed space for the other four 
Although I do need to buy a car before I think about solar panels. Long story short, I'm still getting paid at work but no company car any more.

I'm not getting paid any more... but then again I'm not working either.
Oh, and the new electric car arrives in a couple of weeks or less... I can then sign up for a new power tariff for cheaper overnight electricity.
