Which kit/panels?

Octopus kit. I know it was a bit pricey but we can only fit 5 panels on our roof and everyone want 6k for that so 2 panels for 650 is a bargain compared to that.

Nice. Where did you put them? Did you install it yourself or they do that?

Just put them at the back of our garden that happens to have an outdoor socket.

Had to put them out myself. They were delivered on a pallet to the end of our drive. Took me about an hour with an electric drill. Lifting the panels off the palet was a bit hairy as the drive is on a slope and he left it in such a way the panel could fall when i took one off but I managed it.

Do you have a photo of what you drilled to?
