My Solar installation is almost done...

They came this morning all young and eager to get it done. It been cold an overcast all day. I have to say they asked and explored several ways to make the electrial connections the least intrusive as possible. I have one conduit on the side of the house. We made a decison to pull all the panels at the back of the house away from prying eyes. Very neat job. They were happy I shown them how I brought service in from the rear garages to the house. Made the job go quick. I ended up with 18 panels. NRGhomesolar. I only had to go buy a wireless router for monitoring.

3.87 kW AC (4.47 kW DC)

They get the residuals from the electric returned to the grid and I get the reduction in the monthly bill of 100 - 125 a month. I could pay off the lease but I rather have it go to them. There was no cost to me.
