madman_us Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 so here we go guys. my solar contractor called this morning if his guys can come out to start with the project. of course i didnt say no after his phone call they came within 15mins, i didnt even have time to drink my coffee hahathey started right away with finding the rafters, used the lag bolts to secure the rails to the roof.the wire is pulled thru the attic all the way into my garage to a junction box, from there they have to go to the inverter next to the panel.rails are all installed. those guys are quick....they got lots of stuff done in one day.30x 255watt solar panels.here a little slideshow, i gonna upload more pictures in the next 2 days....then should everything be up and running. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/MadManDeluxe/slideshow/solar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfangs85 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Awesome to see them start. Sounds as if these guys might have done a few of these. And that view is killer, a little dry for a corn belt kid like me but beautiful none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 thanks poison. ya they install a bunch of solar systems in the area. they know what they are doing.the boss is doing solar since 30y - thats quite some experience. and this company was way way lower then another local company.they wanted 6k more - kinda greedy to me. yeah its kinda dry....i like to play in a sandbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 im up and running - will upload more pictures shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 here are some numbers for you guys,yesterday we turned on the system at around 1.30pm at we produce 27.4 kwhtoday the system was running actually the whole day and we produced 48.2 kwhwe feed in more what we used but we dont get credit for that. (not yet)now we have to wait until the inspector comes by for the final ok. then we get credit for the kwh we feed in.in the pictures i just uploaded you can see that we feed in 6.5 kwh - so we were overproducing.oh and i have to mention, the inspection date can be up to 4 weeks.electric company are crooks - during that time they get free electric during the day which they can resell. here are some more pictures i added to the slideshow http://smg.photobucket.com/user/MadManDeluxe/slideshow/solar i kinda like how it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
