Review of North Solar 200WB Hot Water System Phil – NSW These things always happen at the worst time. It’s 5.30 am on a Tuesday morning in early May 2016 and I am walking up the driveway when I notice an unnatural shine from the brickwork on the sidewall of the house. A quick glance […]

Mounting kit included? I have a 22 degree pitch roof. I believe 40 degree is the correct angle, will your mounting kit allow this?

The NS-SC30P has […]
