Done some more tidy up to the wiring.
Roughed in and finished the solar panel wiring over the last few days. Its been fun trying to balance on step ladders whilst using crutches. :lol: :lol:
Used some alloy jiffy boxes from Jaycar and some gland nuts to make sure there is a waterproof seal from the outside roof to the internal roof of the canopy.

Internal Jiffy box with termination from the solar panel to internal wiring which runs along one of the strengthening braces along roof of canopy.Bit of room here to add some more circuits in. Thinking of running an Anderson plug with the provision to plug in another solar panel.
Image
Image
Had a few bits an pieces left over so I decided to put an ammeter with an isolator for the solar panel to measure input current.
Image
Image
Had to make a special spanner to get to the back of a few of the nuts on the fasteners in the roof.

I call unfair, not only do you have a shed equipped with what the average man would trade their left nut for but now you have all the time in the world to work on your build. Unfair advantage I say.
