macspares pipe insulation, Armour Flex
- Dodgy shop, no stock, got insulation form Fereiras westrand, great with slit and seal, only problem, not UV stable.
- Panels
- Thin-film amorphous silicon panels are 6-10% efficient. (perform well in high-temperature and shaded conditions)
- crystalline panels 10-14%
