Hey What about that big tower for wind gen? Did you get that you could rent a car trailer and get it. put a red flag on the back of it! And take it home.
@shartne They sold the turbine and tower a year ago, however I now have most of the ground gear for it (dump load, contactor, breakers, charge controllers, ...)
@shartne I'm still in the process of figuring out what I have. I did swap out all the MC3 connectors on the panels for the modern MC4s last weekend. I am working on getting grid tie approval with the utility before we start the install.
Please post every step of the install. Really curious about the inverters they look like it will be a 220 out put. because there is two inverters. two separate 110 legs.
iam happy for you .. thats really nice people to do such deed. they are blessed.. lookin forward to your next vids. Always fun to watch. Becareful on the roof..
@Fearlessthinker About 25+ years ago, I installed 3 Novan hotwater panels (4'x8') on my roof. After about 10 years, I could clearly see the roof was sagging. If I could have added some support inside the attic, before installing the panels, it might have helped.
I'm pretty sure that I could cover my whole roof with 41 pound each CS6P-200 (Canadian Solar 200w) panels, and not have much of a sag problem. BUT, if we got snow built-up like last year.. Maybe that could be problematic. :(
OK- We are all very happy for you- What a score- But just speaking for myself-i am jealous...LOL Congrats--looking forward to the install clip.. i agree- it was worth the drive- boy I sure miss those trees,

Wow, that's some real PV power. You are one lucky fellow!
Are these going on your roof or, will you build a ground mounted array?
Have fun,

@water4fuelh20 Good question! It likely will be next year at this point! They are backpass type and need a lot of work.

@fearlessthinker it is like walking in to heaven when you opened up that storage door. I would drive 10 hours for those.

@jmotazedi I think in heaven they have 24V panels. These are 12V. ;-)
