7:10 AM this morning and the text on my phone indicates the crew is ready to begin work today. The temperature is 17 degrees F. and the sky is a beautiful, bright blue. No new snow today, but there will not be much melting of any of the residual snow.
The crew is still three.
The electrician needed to insure that Palatine Village electrical requirements were met. The inspection process is quite rigid for electrical work.Nice to know.
The conduit entering the inverter will be housing the DC generated by the panels on the roof. This conduit will be mounted on the exterior, up the wall and on top of the roof leading to the lowest location of panels on the South edge of the East roof.
The early morning sun is shinning on the frosted rail/racking that was installed on Day 2.
John and Luis are starting work on the Northern section of the East roof. They are prepping for the Quick mounts and the racking.
The rails/racking has been installed on the North section of the East roof.
Luis and John are now installing the SolarEdge optimizers. The 40 power optimizers are mounted to the rails and manage the output of the 40 PV panels. The optimizer is a DC/DC converter and turns each panel into a smart module. It monitors the performance of each module (panel) and communicates performance data to the SolarEdge monitoring platform for module-level maintenance.
A shot of the spent milk weed, standing up against the cold Winter weather.
The next effort is wiring the DC from all 40 panels to the roof-level junction box. Then, "laying the glass" is the final install step.
End of Day 3.
Very impressive makes me want to replace my roof and sign up
