So, the solar company said “it’s looking positive”. Apparently our house’s roof is much more strongly pitched than was apparent from the Google streetmaps view, meaning it possibly has enough surface area to squeeze the minimum 10 panels on (required for ‘free solar panels’). Our garage, it seems, is too shaded – although he felt that with microinverters it would possibly be worth doing, but it wouldn’t be free.
He couldn’t take measurements, which is a shame (because the roof’s not boarded), but he’s taken photos and measured the outside of the house, and well, we’ll see.
He will be e-mailing me later.
Mitsubishi tweeted an e-mail address at me, so I’m waiting to hear from them about whether there’s a fix for the iMiev’s Level 2 charger issue. I’ve also heard that some iMievs are part of a recall (potential for a failed solder joint) , so I’ve sent in the ‘is it part of a recall’ form on the website and filled in the reply paid postcard saying it’s ours now. And now, with the sun high in the sky, is time for me to obtain FOODSTUFFS!
