James, this is a perfect presentation of how a total eclipse can and does effect solar PV production. Thanks for posting! ------------------------------ Glenn Bowman ------------------------------

Bill i also was first to put up a solar system in my development in south central Florida. Now quite a few have systems. I'm considering adding battery storage to my grid tie system now but the prices are still too high. Like you, I'm retired and was looking for something worthwhile to do in my spare ...

Well said William. I agree. ------------------------------ Glenn Bowman ------------------------------

Hi Mike What is a fair price to pay to be grid connected? Do you pay a minimum per month? I pay Florida Power & Light $8.55 per month to be connected. So, I feel like I'm paying my part. I would oppose paying more though. Thanks, Glenn ------------------------------ Glenn Bowman glennbowman@gmail.com ...

Re critters under solar panels, I had to install hardware cloth around my array to prevent squirrels from getting underneath and chewing on wiring. Haven't had any issues since installing the hardware cloth. ------------------------------ Glenn Bowman glennbowman@gmail.com ------------------------- ...

Is there an electrical rule which says you must put a junction box on the roof? So, I built my system and put the j-box downstairs next to inverter. On the roof, I have solar panels, cabling, and MC4 connectors. That's it. ------------------------------ Glenn Bowman glennbowman@gmail.com ---------- ...

I like this idea. I would be glad to input data at least weekly or bi weekly. I currently look at my production on SolarEdge Monitor Portal. Also I have access to my local utility Website portal which shows my net energy usage. Thanks, Glenn
