Try to count the OSHA regulations being broken here. :D

Living in a country where they don't speak the same language as you is bad enough. Trying to get them to do something that you want done, and the way you want it done - well, you have a better chance of winning a lotto.

Anyway, here are some images from today's installation of a pole mount. I will add 2 - 135 watts panels, in series, in a couple of days or so. As soon as the concrete cures, anyway. At the moment, the ground is so wet, they didn't have to add any water to the concrete after mixing. The panels will be connected to a Midnite Kid and then to 1 - 120 AH battery.

    LOL. I once saw a guy in the Philippines, who was welding with one of those small welders, like they used here. Except, his had no cover, he was using sun glasses, wearing flip-flops, and in the rain!

    How they live as long as they do in this part of the world, is simply amazing.
