Hi Dot,

They must have changed their panels since last year when I purchased two x 200watt panels from Bitdeals and mine are a different size.
Yours are quoted at 12% smaller and a lower efficiency.
I am sure they'll be right , maybe, hopefully, fingers crossed.

G secured the GPS so it didn't unstick from the windscreen when it wants to.

OK, how did he achieve that?
What sort of wizardry was used?

Cheers,

Now you say something, Oh well got to learn by the mistakes.

[El Gringo]

Oh, and here I was thinking you had some magical new idea to hold it onto the screen.
Bit disappointed really...

BTW, tried one of those contraptions in my dad's car, it shook around so much you couldn't read the damn thing, went back to the suction cup method.
Hope yours works better than that.

Oh, and also, I had panels the same size as those, but decided to go flexible ones instead so sold them before I fitted them.
Bloke put them on his shed on his property and they are working fine.

Cheers.

Reason for the solid ones, the frame is up already with the old panels and have heard of some probs lately with some flex ones. The GPS thing worked great until recently when the sucker stopped sucking so now it has no choice but to stay where it is till we tell it to move. What a grumpy bunch you boys are this morning, miss out did you?

Yes, did you??? It must be that because we can't blame the full moon. Sorry.

Hey David, women can choose when where and with whom/what so we don't get cranky over IT
