Solar panels for my shed? Any ideas? :)

There are lots of ways to search for them, Samuel
For these, I looked at your profile page at "Latest started threads" as I could remember that you had talked about solar panels before.

Evening all

Has anyone installed solar panels on their allotment shed roof? If so what does yours power, how much did it cost and would you recommend it? Many thanks!

Samuel

I bought this:
Solar Power Panel Brushless Water Pump Fountain Pool Garden Watering Kits 220L/H | eBay for £7.91

Connected it to this:
23M MICRO IRRIGATION SYSTEM 71PC AUTOMATIC GARDEN PLANT GREENHOUSE WATERING KIT | eBay for £4.99

(without the sprinkler bit of course)

I added the pump to my water butt and the other end trailed into my greenhouse. The thinking is that it'll work at the sunniest when I can't water as frequently as I'd like.

The set up is slow and only works when the sunshine is strong and the water doesn't yet flow above 1.5 feet in the greenhouse - could probably play with the levels a bit so it flows better (or it might get more pressure with more sunshine in the middle of summer), but as it happens it does exactly what I want it to do. On test it transferred 3/4 of a large water butt in about 5 hours of winter sun.

Whilst things are not needing so much water I just raise the tube above the level it will flow which means I can leave it connected without wasting water.
