Fitting the solar panel

Having built the heatsink I’ve now turned my attention to fitting the solar panel in the greenhouse. The solar panel is going to to be used to charge an old car battery. In turn the battery will run a fan from an old PC which will blow warm air down a pipe into the heatsink.

After a fair bit of work I managed to produce a frame for the solar panel. The frame consists of strips of aluminium bolted to the greenhouse frame at each end. The solar panel is then bolted to the strips. This does put a bit of upward pressure on the greenhouse glazing but hopefully it will be ok.
