Solar On Line!

It's up and generating! The Xcel engineer came out today and witnessed a test of the inverter shutting off if Xcel power goes off, I signed a connection agreement and they turned it back on. It's cloudy now and we're generating 1700-1900 watts; earlier the sun was out and we were making 3400-3700 watts. Supposed to be sunny again this afternoon - Yahoo!

This is the array tilted to the East.

This is the inverter panel showing what it's currently generating and the total of 10.2 kilowatt hours generated so far.

Showing the sub-panel added and the inverter to the right of it.

Info label added to the main breaker panel.

Warning labels on the inverter.

Solar Going Up!

This is exciting! The footings for the tracker went in yesterday:

The crossbars are the axis that the panels will rotate on. The truck says "Able Energy" and
"weknowsolar.com". Most of the wiring is done and the panels come in Monday.
