The system was approved today by the town building department.   The last hurdle is the utility company putting in the bi-directional meter.   There are 7 switches to flip to get this working (picture attached).   For the building inspector test run, it was producing 4.3 KW of power at 10:30 AM on May 11, 2010.   We still have some trees to drop so it gets more sun in the early morning and late afternoon.   What I’ve learned doing this - PATIENCE.   It is a work of art though and well worth all the waiting.
