I posted this to the mods and thought some of the members may like to see.
After I finished the solar array I have ;
Painted the house, redid the deck, pressure cleaned the roofs, removed 5 oak trees, cleaned out and trimmed the other oaks, mended the 800 ft of fence, pressure cleaned the driveways, jack hammered up formed and repoured the back sidewalk that got broke. installed a 7 ft high concrete fountian to include staining it, planted all new landscape with boarder, put down 8,000 pounds of rubber mulch, tore up the yard and admended the soil with 80 cubic yards of peat moss, installed a new well pump in the ground, dug and installed 2400 ft of pvc pipe and 70 sprinklers, replaced the whole 32,000 sq feet of yard with new sod (64 pallets of sod), filled every hole between the pieces with soil by hand, I am now finishing by installing 25 sprinklers in the new landscape beds. So I have been a little busy.
This is what you have to do after working on christmas stuff for 7 years without keeping up your home.

Made 11.3 Mega Watt Hours so far. Thats 3,780,013 AA batteries worth for those wondering. :)
I haven't paid a power bill since I turned it on. Got a check from the power company in January for the excess I produced.
