GringoQ Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Glad you find it so funny, hope you find paying for the very expensive replacements with your taxes equally amusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Glad you find it so funny, hope you find paying for the very expensive replacements with your taxes equally amusing! I do find it amusing, because how well were these solar panels secured?, would have taken some time to rip one off and a van would be needed, thought the weather hut had webcams anyway? Guessing each panel is probably worth about 1-2k at least, not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I wouldn't worry, no readings from solar panels on a weather station on the Isle of Man for 3 months - doesn't necessarily mean they've been stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempus Fugit Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 suppose the webcam doesn't show much at night, they'll have to rely on the wind genny (until that gets stolen ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever removed them must have been tall, it was a hell of a job bolting them on originally, I could only just reach and I'm well over 6' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
