REC Solar was the installer of my system. They came out Mar 22 to begin the process.



Wasted no time getting situated with safety equipment secure. 

 

 

 Views from up on the roof showing details of the module mounting rails.

The end result of that first day was to have all of the mounting rails for the PV modules and the roof wiring complete.

 

 



The very next day brought snow
 

 

 



 

 

The guys returned on the 28th to mount the modules. Had to clean off the roof first.

 

 And the sun came out with warming energy to help.

 

 Ten of the PV modules mounted.

 

 

Here's all 14 and the electrical inspector checking things out.

 

 

 

 

 

 This is my electrical service before additions for the system. Service panel & meter.

...and here is the after with two additional meters and a PV disconnect added. In addition the original electrical meter was replaced with a NET Meter which runs backwards when power from the inverter is being fed back onto the grid.

 This is the Itron solar production Watt-hour meter that uses cel phone technology to send data which eventually ends up on the SUNRUN web site. More on that aspect later.

 Then another snow.

Solar kWh production

The following documents the first 5 days of monitoring Solar kWh production using the newly installed Locus Energy LGate 101E using the Locus SolarOS Application web page. At this point only the AC power fed from my inverter to the grid is monitored. Addition optional monitoring of the load and even other inverter parameters are possible and I am looking into those possibilities. I will be adding some photos of my installation and specific equipment.
