Today’s Installation Progress
My wife stopped by at lunchtime. They had a few of the mounting rails installed. If I remember correctly, they will be installing wiring after the rails are installed. Tomorrow or Thursday should see the first panels installed.
By the way, the “before” pictures are found at this location: Before Pictures.
Update 6pm: It appears that they’ve finished installing the mounting rails. Tomorrow, they should be finishing that and installing the in-track wiring.
Here are some pictures.
This is a picture of the house with the rails in place. (Sorry about the sun glare)
Here are the guys installing the rails.

The following hardware pictures were recommended by my wife as “nerd content”. She did agree that it takes one to know one! Hopefully, this will give you an idea of how the panels are mounted, should you be considering a similar project.
This is the lower rail. These are installed perpendicular to the mounting rail and are attached to the roof with a lag screw into the rafters. Asphalt sealant is used to prevent leaks.
This is the upper mounting rail in cross-section. These are the long rails. The open side is mounted facing up.
The thingie on the left is the inter-module clip. It is inserted into the upper mounting rail (the flat part at the bottom slides in) and the top is tightened against the panel itself. The thingie on the right is used to lock the upper rail to the lower rail. It slides over the top of the lower rail, and a nut and washer are bolted through a hole in the upper rail. The lower rail prevents the upper rail from shifting from side to side, and the bolts along the length of the upper rail prevent it from shifting up and down along the lower rail. The suspension above the roof allows for airspace below the panels for cooling and to prevent unwanted wind effects.
More pictures tomorrow – maybe with the first panels in place.

Homeowner’s Insurance and PV systems
Yesterday, I contacted my homeowner’s insurance company – New Jersey Manufacturer’s Insurance – in order to let them know that I was installing a solar electric grid-connected system.
Clearly, I’ve run into another educational gap. The poor representative that I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about.
Back in January, I called them to see if I needed to do anything with my homeowner’s insurance. At that time, I needed to explain the system for a few minutes and I was told that I didn’t need to change my policy in any way – I just needed to call back to let them know that I was installing the system.
Yesterday, I called back. The representative that I got took a little information (not much beyond “solar electrical system”) and went to talk to her supervisor. About 10 minutes later, she came back. She needed a semi-detailed explanation of how the system works (panels to inverter to main breaker box, and she needed LOTS of info on utility interconnection). She wrote down every word that I said and went back to her supervisor. After another 5 minute wait, she came back and told me that I was approved (whatever that means), and that I didn’t need to do anything else. She also said that she and her instructor thank me for help understanding the system.
We need a pamphlet, or a class, or something
I think I’ve come to the realization that there are two holes in the NJ solar educational process:
Tadalafil is one such medicine that has been long thought of as ‘the sex our web-site purchase levitra vitamin’. Some of them involve chillies, peppers, bananas, garlic, onion, pomegranate, watermelon, oatmeal, cashews, walnuts, green vegetables, dairy, root http://downtownsault.org/solomons-tattoo-parlour/ on line viagra vegetables, chickpeas, garlic, soybeans, seeds, granola and many more. You levitra prices may take the tablet up to 4 prior sexual movements. Male impotence frequently known as erectile dysfunction in men and is now treatable order cheap levitra with some modern medicine like Kamagra.
1. Local Inspectors/code officials – mine thought I needed a transfer switch for a grid-connected system
2. Insurance – they don’t know what to make of it
Once my system is completed and approved, I think I may write a letter to the NJ BPU, with these suggestions:
1. When a new application is approved, in addition to sending the approval to the applicant, a copy is sent to the local planning department/building department/etc. Included is a letter offering to assist with the evaluation of the permit application and/or an invitation to a training session. Some local folks may be annoyed by this (“I know how to do my job, I don’t need any interference.”), but hopefully the others will understand what they are asked to approve before the permit application appears.
2. The BPU should put together a pamphlet with the basics of PV grid-connected, stand-alone, and battery backup systems. This should be sent to the appropriate person at all homeowner’s insurance companies doing business in the state.
I know that this would add expense, but the BPU and industry are already working to increase the number of trained installers (see my previous article). It makes sense to me that they have to beef up the rest of the installation infrastructure – and that they should start with municipal building departments.
