Solar Power

Solar Electricity

The spotted dove is taking a close look at my solar panels. I think this maybe of the [hatchlings][1] that came our of the [nest in the roof][2]. It has great plans for my solar power system. The PV panels were supplied by Nawaloka Trading along with the apparatus on which it is mounted. It’s designed so that it can be rotated to track the sun. But right now it’s manual. A computerized tracking system with sophisticated mounts would cost a fortune – far more than the panels themselves which is expensive enough as it is. The mounts were fabricated in their workshop to keep the cost down.
