You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Spencer - if you have a go keep us posted. I asked the originator of the thread to give us an update but haven't heard.

i am currently looking for a bargain panel as i really fancy a go but waiting to pick up a bargain as i'm in no rush.

i've already recently bought a wind deflector to use with the panel so it's gonna happen sooner or later. The wiring and regulator looks simple enough i just want confirmation that further use has validated early trials which looked good.
