Installation begins...



[above the DC->AC inverter]


The installer and I designed an 8.1kW DC photovoltaic system. After all the paperwork was completed they finally started work on July 14th starting on the roof and in the basement working their way towards each other...First the railing go up - they are mounted down to the rafters with a heavy duty attachment capable of withstanding a category 3 tornado.

The 2 day install turned into a 4 day install (note: day 4 is tomorrow). And the day the panels went up was a bit brutal outside - but none of the expected thunderstorms materialized.

The next and final hurdle will be getting the town electrical inspector on the premises...
