The power board is put on the wall during first solar panel workshop, facilitated by Frank Ilczyszyn (Frank's Alternate Energy). The house's nerve centre.
Two (out of the 8) solar panels are tried out to see if all is working well. Our very first solar power is coming in!
Behind the house is a perfect spot for the solar panel array, the concrete slab will be poured here.
It's -20 C: Let's work outside!
The heavy post for the 8 solar panels will be positioned on the slab using man power, since our beloved tractor froze up.
A strong rope, a wooden gin pole, and our muscle power will do the trick... Eva Lisa is really strong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frank had it well thought out: with bolts and screws, some leveling and patience the post dropped perfectly in place.
