Our neighbours&#8217; \u00a0trees that have grown so tall, they&#8217;ve taken our power after 11.30AM. \u00a0The only full sun we&#8217;ve got is in the bay where there are no trees!

Because of this story, I now find talk of electricity fascinating!<\/p>\n<p>Our solar power doesn&#8217;t have to go a long distance- only down the jetty and to the pergola on the shore to the right- you might&#8217;ve glimpsed the GG-built and slightly wobbly pergola in photos- but because of the inverter, it will arrive at the pergola in 240 watts, where Dy will install a glorious and very loveable \u00a0switch that will connect by leads and pump electricity into both our houses. My inspiration was putting the pontoon out in the sun (easy), but DY&#8217;s is the work and ingenuity! (Brilliant). No more power crashes at 3 AM&#8230;and waiting through dawn for a respectable time to run noisy generator and save what&#8217;s in the freezer&#8230; and turn on a heater because the pot belly fire&#8217;s gone out &#8230; and switch on lights&#8230; and turn on hot water&#8230;.and keep the interest going. \u00a0What joy.<a href=\"https:\/\/suewoolfe.com.au\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/75362505_306885757135160_854305559541679845_n.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Written 21 June, 2020 Today if the sun and the wind co-operate is the laying the ground &#8211; the pontoon really &#8211; for \u00a0the mini communal solar power station.
