Anyone looking for a home for their website/idea? We've still got some space on Squeak - the solar powered community webserver inspired by compost.party.
Currently there is the awesome mini mahjong league run by @knees , the personal website of @[email protected] @[email protected]
and also it hosts a list of the #solarpunk books I own and of course the #stealthsolar website. Of and @jbmorley says hi on their site.Get in touch if you are interested - https://squeak.solarcene.community

One of my mixed beds is doing great, I had planned to focus on tomatoes but there was a volunteer potato plant and then I planted 2 spare courgettes. It's looking a bit wild, the solar panel powers a small temperature sensor though it's a bit old so unreliable.
This bed is doing the best of all my beds (doesn't need the shade like the other ones I mentioned before)
In the background are 2 of my #stealthsolar panels

@wannabemystiker i host a website about #stealthsolar (solar panels that are subtle or not necessarily allowed), often it's a bit of a DIY affair. It's not extensive but might give you ideas https://squeak.solarcene.community/~stealthsolar/docs/

I've made some updates to the #stealthsolar website https://squeak.solarcene.community/~stealthsolar/docs/
Added a little section about safety and also added some additional images about fence based panels and shed wall panels.
Still need to add my garage roof panels at some point

For the first time it's 2200 and my little plug in battery is still discharging, it has 20% capacity left. I think it's been a combination of the partially sunny day and our habits. We've needed some grid power as it can only output 800W so needs the grid for the big stuff.
I suspect we'll get through to 0030 where it is set to charge on the cheap tariff. Anyway it's exciting to see it all work!

Did some more #stealthsolar over the weekend, I've installed a single #solar panel onto my garage. What's tricky is the #garage has slate tiles which in my research are not easy to mount panels to.
As a temporary setup ive bolted 2 pieces of treated timber, one on each side. I've then attached a strip of outdoor foam to cushion it all. To help secure it the timber extends up to the ridge and I've used metal brackets which go under the ridge tiles which are easy to lift up, this screws down onto the wooden understructure but I've been careful not to have the metal touch the slate.
It seems to be working pretty well since, it compliments my wall panels

@froqstar that looks like exactly what I was looking for, would I be able to use that image on the #stealthsolar website I'm building? https://squeak.solarcene.community/~stealthsolar/docs/

Continuing the #stealthsolar theme, I took everyones helpful thoughts/suggestions/examples/pictures and have made a small website (hosted on my solar powered web server) called "Stealth Solar - Subtle Ways To Generate Your Own Power" with some thoughts about where to install #solarpanels stealthily : https://squeak.solarcene.community/~stealthsolar/docs/
Its still a work in progress, there are lots of spelling mistakes and I'm sure I can expand the sections further.

Dear #fediverse friends - does anyone have solar panels attached to their fence and use it to generate electricity (and be happy to share an image or two)?
I'm working on a website to document different types of #stealthsolar and don't have any images of #solarpanels on fences.

Success but suddenly started pouring with rain so now inside. 2 ecoflow 440W panels, 4 Renusol Metasole+ with end clamps, concrete screws to secure them to the wall.
The position means that they can't be seen by our neighbours.

Installing some #stealthsolar today!
(And using fixings that perhaps weren't designed for the job)

Does anyone have #solar panels installed on top of their shed and would be willing to provide a picture that I could add to my page on #stealthsolar ? It doesn't need to be particularly stealthy but extra points if it is! Would be grateful for a little information so I can credit the image appropriately.
As I work slowly on my #stealthsolar guide/book/website I'll likely be asking for more examples - but it will be at a fairly slow pace.

Sooo I got so many amazing responses to the #stealthsolar question, new ideas/concepts and examples it has inspired me to get on with the website, I'm using the #hugo book theme and have managed to write the introduction. The goal will be to have sections on each location (shed, wall, trailer etc) and then also sections with some simple guides.
I haven't really written this way for years so it's a bit of a new experience and it got me thinking, if the website writing goes well could there be a book in it? I appreciate I'm thinking way ahead but I think it's the sort of book I would buy.

I've started work on my #stealthsolar page, I'll host it on Squeak (it's a very low power, low resource web host that I run - check it out https://squeak.solarcene.community).
In preparation I've upgrade #Hugo to 0.160 as wanted to use the nice 'book' theme (https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book).
If you'd like to have a small website hosted just get in touch, there is still space on Squeak!

It pains me to say this but I just managed to get 2x #ecoworthy 120W #solarpanels off am*zon for £100 (£30 off at checkout) which is pretty good deal I think.
Still working on detaching myself from that mega conglomerate but does mean I can double my solar capacity which will be great for the winter, just need to think about how I hide the panels in the garden… #stealthSolar
