What a long wait it has been! Here is the roof at lunchtime.
And here it is in the early afternoon. All done. We are already producing power. It is very exciting. I have already zipped out into the backyard a few times to look at the panels. Beautiful!
The inverter is just outside the front door and shows how much energy we are producing. Neat!It is a 3kW installation and should cover quite a bit of our needs. As we are on rainwater, the electric pump kicks in every time you turn on the tap or flush the toilet, to pump the water from the rainwater tank into the house. So this alone uses quite a bit of power. The home office is set up for 2 businesses and needs a bit of power, too. But we have also implemented quite a few measures to save energy.
Anyway, gotta dash, must have another look at the panels and the inverter. :)
Fantastic, I meant to ask on Sunday when you were getting it installed, and now we have sunny days as well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Veggie! They look so sleek up there on your roof! And so good to know they are soaking up the rays and reducing your carbon footprint. Im looking forward to doing this too one day (not too far away I hope!)

I've just had a brilliant idea !! We have a couple of really l-o-o-o-o-n-g extension leads, if we join them together they just might reach your place :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, that is awesome! And now you can just sit back and watch your electricity bills disapp...
