Here Comes the Sun


Our solar system is just becoming operational.  We have 32 panels (Sanyo HIP 200 watts each) located on two poles with trackers (they follow the sun during the day maintaining a right angle exposure).  In the morning the snow, if any, is dumped and the system starts the day facing the east.  In a basement room are 56 Surette 530 batteries to store the power and two Xantrex (HW -6000) inverters to convert the DC power to normal household current.  From this point on the system is just like any other 120/240 volt household system.
