I'm in the process putting in an 8.1 KW (DC) solar PV GT system installed in an urban residential setting, and, changing my energy monitoring system to reflect the system's eventual performance. I've been chronicalling the progress with pictures and notes.

I'm new here. I would be interested to know:

(1) If a picture supported day-by-day summary of the installation details would be of interest / benefit here? And if so,

(2) Which subject area should I put it in?

Many thanks!

Best regards,

Bill

    I think a photo essay of a well done (we'll tell you after you post it - "gee, you should have moved that vent pipe over there", and "how are you going to walk around the side there") install, would be great, and give new comers a visual to wrap /warp/ their brains around when they think it only take a couple nails and a tube of caulk to install panels in a half hour.

    although this might fit into a few categories, i think it would be good in the solar beginners corner as it would benefit beginners the most. if it is somewhat long and involved that is step by step you can do your own thread.

    OK, I started the thread, in the 'Beginners' Corner' as the Moderator suggested.

    See http://forum.solar-electric.com/showthread.php?t=6394 .

    I've got preliminary stuff done. Now working on Day 1 of installation.

    Holler if there's anything I can do to enhance the thread. My objective is to share to help others as much as possible.

    Best regards,

    Bill
