The bad news is that our supplier, Solar Energy Management, didn't get our solar panels in from their supplier in time to start our roof installation on 11/20/09 as expected. The good news is that it has rained a record amount for November in our county and they wouldn't have gotten very far anyway. Plus, they quickly dug in and found an immediate supplier who will supply panels of nearly indentical specification.
Our new panels will be 224 watts instead of 235. SEM will supply a 25th panel to give us essentially the full 5600 watts of power we had in our design.
Our new installation date is November 30th. If the weather is dry for December, one can only hope that the installers will have enough time for all of the promised end of the year installations.
I have read several articles on blogs and in the papers indicating that solar manufacturing capacity is not going to be able to keep up with next year's demand without expanding. Good. More jobs.
Less fossil fuel dependence.

Solar panels can be both homemade and professionally installed. They are quickly establishing to replace traditional forms of electricity.
