It's not too hard - I just bought a kit off the internet. There's even little plus and minus signs embossed on all the components so you've got to work quite hard to get it wrong. It's probably easier to fit to a shed as you can build it so you've got a sloping roof facing south, and it's less critical putting bolts and screws through it than on your house. Plus sheds don't have so many dormer windows, chimneys and soil pipe vents to get in the way as a rule.

I've been pretty pleased with my solar system. It feels good being able to scavenge your power out of the daylight.

My house has is south facing but my garage will be east/west when ive replaced the kitchen done the floors built my
garage & have spare time in-between I will mess about with a solar system.
 
A pleasant early afternoon with a BBQ for my Family.
For once, I sat in the background and contributed the venue and nothing else.
4 grand-kids 6..11 and they are so noisy. Lots of squeals, rough & tumble & tears.
All passed off OK though and peace reigns once again at castle Clarke.
Except we are playing the Album "Dire Straits" by the same, and enjoying being on our own and reminiscing our 20's. :)
Can't beat it. I am so lucky! :D

Sounds like a lovely family day, nice :D:D
 
Eye found a decade resistance box in weee pile at wuk and gorrit.
Do you design electronic circuits too? I am currently working on a design from the 70's but adapting it to modern components as I cannot get the older pre-made coils etc. I managed to get 6 air capacitors for the tuning circuits but getting the decade box will help to set the transistor biasing after the initial calculations.
