Looks like there’s going to be a “Day 4” post. They didn’t finish today. I guess the rain Friday and Monday set them back a little.<\/p>\n

Most of the work today was wiring, in and out of the attic. Not much to show, but I’ll post some pictures anyway.<\/p>\n

Here you see where the wires from all the panels drop into the attic through that round metal pipe upper center of the picture. I don’t know if you can see it, but there are three red wires, and three black. They run from three “strings” of panels. Each group of 11 panels has it’s own connection to the inverter.

\nAs usual, if you right click and select “View Image” you can see a lot more detail.<\/p>\n

And here are the wires coming out of the wall above the invertor. They had to be run through the attic, not an easy job because our attic is separated into two sections and the wires had to be brought through a narrow connection.

The unpainted boxes and conduit are all new installations. The lower one is a cutoff, but I’m not sure what the upper box is for.

And this shows the conduit all finished running from the inverter through another cuttoff.

They stacked all 33 panels against the side of the house so that tomorrow they can start installing them on the roof. Notice the obstructions on the other end to keep Apollo out. Wouldn’t want him peeing on the panels!

Tomorrow I really hope to have pictures of the completed job!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
