Allotments UK Forum and FAQ - solar power for allotment shed

Allotments UK Forum and FAQ - solar power for allotment shed: "I have often thought about a generator but put off by the price �200 plus for a decent one. And of course the risk of it being stolen. You would need to cart it about. And there not light.

You can get decent solar panels off eBay for about �100 to put out 20w good enough for low voltage applications.

my solar panel is only small puts out 1.5w and I have managed to disguise it on my roof with some clear polythene.

My winter projects are to build a small wind generator using old electric motors. But the more i research this idea that more confusing it all becomes.

I also have a home-made Polly Tunnel made using plastic drainpipe and a big sheet of polythene. A bit of a makeshift outfit but it has almost lasted the summer taped together using gaffer tape.

I have managed to scrounge quite a lot of glass throughout the last year and planning on making a wooden framed greenhouse hopefully that will last a lot longer.

Not all my ideas turn out quite as I plan them but I am persistent and always looking to improve without giving up.

The more one tries the more one succeeds eventually. And it is all good fun in the out turn.

I keep saying one-day I will make a website to detail all my wacky ideas. Who knows somebody might be interested in them lol.

Thank You
