- Don’t buy cheap solar panels – while it might seem tempting, make sure you choose MCS-certified solar panels. Any reputable installer will recommend high quality solar panels, which is another reason to have them professionally installed rather than doing it yourself.
- Ensure that your installer uses non-combustible mounting systems and frames.
- Check your system regularly for signs of pests gnawing through cables.
- Keep your solar panel system regularly maintained with proper testing and servicing carried out as recommended by your installer.
- If something doesn’t look right to you, get in touch with your installer and ask – they should be more than happy to help.
Abercastle
Abercastle is a village in the Welsh speaking area of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It has a working harbour which Abercastle Boat Owners Association manages. It is an old trading harbour which exported slate, grain, limestone, butter, honey, corn and coal.
Abercastle harbour was the landing site of Alfred Johnson, the first person to make a lone Atlantic crossing. He landed at Abercastle in August 1876, sixty days after setting sail in Gloucester, Massachusetts. A commemorative plaque made of Welsh slate on the quay wall was opened by Johnson's grandson in 2003.
Half a mile west of Abercastle lies Carreg Samson, which is a 5000 year old Neolithic Burial Chamber and the place of at least 1000 burials. It has a cap stone 15 feet long and 9 feet wide supported on three upright stones. Locals called it Samson because of a legend that Samson placed it in position with his little finger.
The wreck of the Leysian sits on the west side of the harbour, approximately 50m from the cliffs. It is popular with divers who say that lots of fish live in there. It's also thought that a small shark frequents the wreckage.
