Is this for garden lamps or fountains and decorative stuff, or are you thinking of using your installing to eke out household electricity use?

Our terrace house has a valley roof. One side of the V faces south and gets sun almost from sunrise to sunset.

We decided we could make use of the sun — the choice was whether to heat water or generated electricity, or a mixture of both. Still no decision, though...
I'm thinking either supplementing or in emergency for the house. I am planning a garden installation as it's easier and removeable and I think quite a lot cheaper. I just need to start some calculations to see if it's viable.

I was just contemplating installing some garden solar panels/batteries for essentials. It looks relatively easy. Anyone else thinking this way?

On climate change — we're talking, we're beginning to act, but we're still not doing enough...
