Brian Pellerin, Freedom Renewable Energy, not only a prinicpal in the business  but a man with vision and heart, his life dramatically changed after a close call on 9/11.

There really is a Santa Claus and the workshop, Freedom Renewable Energy, exisits at 55 Crystal Drive in Derry, NH.   Santa's sleigh, the Freedom truck arrived yesterday with all Santa's helpers and today we produced our first 1.9 Kw..in dismal cloud cover and drizzle!!!! PRETTY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Did I say PRETTY COOL???????  I mean..wow man...PRETTY COOL!!!!!!!  We'll be doing even better when the system is adjusted for the proper tilt, (right now it's sitting like a table since they need to do a bit of additional work) but we are LIVE...we are producing under dismal weather and it will be cranking with full sun...I just can't wait!!!!  
 

The entire journey is so much fun!!!!

DC load center, FlexMax Solar Controller, Inverter for the Off Grid 700W system...designed by that incredible Rich Doucette...the guy is simply amazing!!!!!!!

Matt in da' hole, Matt is under the wonderful guidance of Fred...more on Fred a few photos down.

Matt pulling wires out from the 14 panel solar array to the AC panel that will interface with Unitil's power and will make our meter spin backwards.

Fred, who is probably the MOST incredible person to oversee the electrical side of things...to say he's an "electrician" is a total understatement...he TEACHES electricians...in New England, he's a consultant to boards in towns, he a surfer dude, he's a Vietnam Vet who was air lifted out during the Tet Offensive...he's cool...the guy just rocks!!!!  Fred takes a look at the inverter and meter setup on the diamond galvanized steel sheet Rich custom cut and attached on the pipe mount...he's of  COURSE my favorite designer....the guy with incredible brains and go power.    I think if there were more Rich's in the world we could solve all the world problems!!!!
