Solar Power - Solar Powered Workshop Part 5 - Two Years Later




I've supplied my workshop for almost 2 years now with solar power. Overall I feel quite happy with the design and amount of power it supplies. I did learn a few things about planning for upgrades, and do have an upgrade coming in the near future. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that I also have a motion detector light on the outside of my workshop that is powered by the solar power system too.
