We have had a word with a friend who installs solar panels, and he has a day free before he goes away for Christmas, and the weather is expected to be good, so it's all systems go for tomorrow for fitting the rails on the roof. Tomas the electrician will fit the actual panels, but we need to have the rails in place to make it easy for him.
In order to have things go smoothly tomorrow, Dave spent the day working out how to do the fitting. The company who supplied everything: Off Grid Europe, have supplied everything, which is excellent, but the roof mounts and Greek tiles aren't a good match. Each tile with a mount fitted beneath it will need a small piece of it ground off with an angle grinder. Just an extra bit of faffing about, situation normal!

The tiles and the grinder, ready to go
Later that day, the first rail fitted, mistakes made and corrected, techniques learned.
