Solar Panel Fitters

You could just ring a local caravan/MH dealer and ask who they use.

Isn't Merve somewhere in Leicestershire? He'd be the ideal 'go to' man for info.

 Thanks guys, who,s Merve ???

What about Road Pro at Daventry which is not too far from you. 5% members discount as well.

Crikes, if you converted a van fitting your own panel should be a doddle. Just buy a kit, they are easy enough to fit.

Depends how physically able one is. & years ago I converted our bathroom to provide a large shower, the base of which was 50% heavier than me. Built out a wall, crawled around the attic, tilled through out fitted additional stuff and re-did the toilet in the adjacent room with a fresh floor screed etc. Also dug out and concreted a new oil tank base, erected a firewall etc during a 5 week break between holidays. 

Prior to undertaking the work that August I was suffering greatly with arthritis in spine, neck, shoulder etc and OH was saying to get a man in. I was saying no I will be fine, but I knew that I really was not able and had not been for a while. I had a remission however and got stuck in. Could I manage 8 hour days of physical work over an extended 4 week period followed by an evening barbie now? No sadly. 

 

Merve Gaskill, who doesn't frequent this forum as much now. Based in Market Harborough area.  Have a browse of the "How to thrive without 240V" thread . It's a sticky at the top of the "Tips to make caravanning cheaper" section.

The latter pages of this thread brings home that not all "professional" solar system installers are created equal, some being frighteningly incompetent;

Certainly in my experience the requirement that the "adhesive" needs significant residual thickness after setting to work as intended, seems to be a feature missed by some professionals and DIYers alike.
