About: Wanted to become self sufficient for a long time, however i am trapped in a modern world with minimal cash and an addiction to the computing world.

Following a few suggestions on my first instructable, I have made a few upgrades and improvements.

First on the list, replacing the panel cabling and adding a fuse.

Step 1: Replacing the Cabling

I set about replacing the cabling with 30amp rated cabling in parallel to add current.

Step 2: Adding a Fuse and Remounting

I have added a 15w fuse to the 'Flora'  junction box and remounting on the pallet.

Step 3: Control Box Refurbishment

Stripping out the control box and refurbishment.

Step 4: Completely Empty

The box, now empty, ready for repair, staining and varnishing.

Step 5: Adding a Sloped Run Off on the Top of the Control Box

To save on water seeping into the box

Step 6: Replacing the Front of the Box

The front of the box needed replacing.

Step 7: Refitting the Electricals

Now to stain, varnish and refit the electrical equipment.
