Adding meters to Maplin charge controller

Interestingly the Maplin charge controller disconnects the 60W 12v solar panel PV array when the battery is charged (around 13.6v).

I have 50v and 50A meters for the 235W panels which I thought I'd wire up for the craic.

Installing the proper rail bracket

After talking with my neighbour Paul and re-reading the fitting instructions, I realised that the bracket are screwed to the vertical rafters of  the roof - not the horizontal battens. So I replaced my weak bracket with a study one.

You have to angle grind the tile to fit flush on top of the bracket.
