Introduction: Solar Terminal - Upgrade Stage 1
Following a few suggestions on my first instructable, I have made a few upgrades and improvements.
First on the list, replacing the panel cabling and adding a fuse.
Step 1: Replacing the Cabling
I set about replacing the cabling with 30amp rated cabling in parallel to add current.
Step 2: Adding a Fuse and Remounting
I have added a 15w fuse to the 'Flora' junction box and remounting on the pallet.
Step 3: Control Box Refurbishment
Stripping out the control box and refurbishment.
Step 4: Completely Empty
The box, now empty, ready for repair, staining and varnishing.
Step 5: Adding a Sloped Run Off on the Top of the Control Box
To save on water seeping into the box
Step 6: Replacing the Front of the Box
The front of the box needed replacing.
Step 7: Refitting the Electricals
Now to stain, varnish and refit the electrical equipment.
