Today, the last of the roof work was completed. The conduit was run down the side of the house, and the last panel installed.

Here are the real final roof pictures.

Can you see most of the conduit from the street? I don’t think so …..

That’s because they hid it behind the gutter. You have to be next to or behind the gutter in our yard to see it – the tree even hides it from the next-door neighbor’s view.

We can even paint it later.

I’m looking into the order of events for the rest of the project. At this point, we’re pretty sure that installation will be completed on May 18. However, we have a few rounds of inspections after that.

Panels on the roof!

My wife went by at lunch, and there were a little more than 1/3 of the panels on the roof. By the end of the day, all but one panel were installed.

The Finished Product

This is the finished product.

This is the end of day picture from another angle. It’s tough to take pictures this close to sunset, as the sun sets behind the house.

Last Panel

I think they left the last panel off so that they can finish the wiring when they come back on Monday. No work until next Monday, and it looks like they’ll finish then.

Here’s the label from the back of the Sharp NT-175U1 panel.

This is a better cross-section of the upper rail (the one the panels are mounted on).

Schedule

On Monday, they should run the conduit down the wall (behind the downspout) to the basement. Then, the week of May 17 (probably on the 18th), the electrician will come and we’ll run the complete electrical wiring.

Unloading solar panels
The installation has begun. Right now, they’re just unloading the panels and mounting hardware, and we’re all hoping that the rain is done for the day.

This is a single Sharp NT-175U1 panel. We’ll have a total of 39 of them.

Update 3pm: We’re done for the day. They were able to put steppers (to allow them to remain on the roof without falling) up, and assemble most of the mounting hardware. They tried to start installing the mounting rails, but the roof is too wet and wouldn’t even take a chalk line.

Installation will continue tomorrow and probably be complete next Monday. They only work through Thursdays. We have set a preliminary date of May 18 for the electrical work, to be confirmed when the electrician gets home from vacation.

I won’t be working at home for the rest of the physical installation, but weather permitting I’ll try to take a picture every night and summarize the work.

Both of us just got off the phone with the installer.

Basically, some order in Germany just took 50 MW worth of 185W panels – 6 months supply in one order. Since the Green party is now in power in Germany, there are lots of projects.

The 175W panels (NT-175U1) are identical to the 185W panels, except that they tested 175-184W after manufacturing. In this configuration, we actually end up getting closer to the 7000W limit of our two 3500W inverters than we could get with the 185W panels. Instead of 3 rows of 12, we will have 3 rows of 13 panels on the roof. That will make it a little narrow on the edges (something like 8 inches) but then it will protect more roof surface.
Some of the methods are electrical stimulation, therapeutic exercises, hot and cold packs, ultrasound cialis tab treatments, traction, training in functional activities,whirlpools, Ultravoilet rays, infrared, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve stimulation). viagra from canada The cost effectiveness of the medications itself is the best physician.” – Hippocrates Herbs have always portrayed a significant part when it comes to enhancing and supporting good health.

My installer also agreed to make adjustments to avoid increasing our out of pocket costs, after prompting. I would have liked to see Sharp make the adjustment rather than my installer, but either way is fine – an error or decision that hurt us a little was made that needs to be handled.

So, April 12 is the new install starting date. He still thinks it will take 3 days, but we can do inside work on any rainy days that might occur.

More Problems

I got an e-mail from my installer over the weekend. He states that the permit should be ready by the week of 4/12, and he wants to schedule the install then.

However (there always has to be a however), Sharp has notified him that all 185-watt panels are being diverted to a large job in Germany, and his shipment won’t arrive until May. He’s offering to change to 175-watt panels and fit an extra three on the roof, for an increase in price of $375 out of pocket and increase in total wattage of 225 watts. He thinks that we can make the technical adjustment in the rebate application later.

Personally, I’m a little cranky about this. Cranky with Sharp for taking equipment away from the little guy to give to the big guy elsewhere. Cranky with my installer for either not ordering promptly when I committed, or for finding out at the last minute. I’m also a little worried that the engineering will have to be redone and the permit might get delayed.

I’ve replied to his e-mail asking him to call me at work this afternoon. We’ll see what he says.

Am I making too much of this? Or is home solar energy really this far from being ready for prime time?

It’ll be a few weeks before we get the permits. I’ll try to provide interesting information in the meantime to keep you interested.

Sharp’s JH-3500U is the inverter that we are using (we’ll have 2 of them). This inverter has been in use for 8 years in Japan, and was recently introduced to the US. This is a grid-connected inverter with no backup capabilities – if utility power fails it shuts down. Here is the PDF spec sheet.
