Solar Forestation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Tuesday a little after 1:30 pm we finished up the process with Unitil when our old meter was replaced with a Net Meter.   Our old meter was spinning backwards during the day since our beautiful array was installed on June 13th and has been pumping electricity back to Unitil for about the past month but as far as Unitil was concerned it didn't count until we jumped through a few more hoops and had our Net Meter installed.   They were able to get about 300Kw from our system and rode free but yesterday with the Net Meter installed they fully recognize each Kw we produce.  Fast forward to Friday, today, and it's been exactly three days since we became "official"...we now have a credit of 11 Kw...pretty cool since we only had one very sunny day, the other days were a mostly cloudy and today which has been partial sun!!!!!! 

We'll be having additional trees trimmed soon which will give us additional morning sun, very important during the months of December, January and February when the sunlight hours are fewer and the sun is lower.

We'll have more accurate and real time numbers when our Solren View is installed!!!!!  Stay tuned.

This system has surpassed our wildest dreams!!!!!
