Hooked up and on line

As you can see we didn't get 3 rows of 14 on the back roof. Do to the position of the cross braces and vent pipes in the road we only got 2 rows of 13 and 1 row of 12 on the large rear roof. We did however find out that we could put a second row on the front garage roof.

This gave us 4 more panels there for a total of 2 KiloWatts at the front. I have updated the predictions in my calculations page to reflect these changes. ROI stays pretty close to the same as it was. We also have retained the 9.6 total system capability.

The big days was Tuesday September 21st.  Hydro did a disconnect.

This did require them to move some bushes on the neighbors lot. Hope they aren't too pissed about that.  They then installed the double meter box, had it inspected, and turn our power back on, all in one day. It did take some time to schedule that everyone would be here on the same day. Panel now looks like this. Switch was turned on at 3:15PM.

I have some trim work to finish up.

To see how well the system is performing you can take a look at my Enphase web site. It will show you a total history of all the power that has created. http://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/public/systems/nJC57822

The display shows the panels are tilted to reflect the angle that they are actually facing. I will track actual meter readings and compare the output to my predictions, so stay tuned for more updates.
