Solar Panel System Clark Street
Updated 3/30/10 We're done with the panels install, wiring will be done Tuesday.
It took untill the end of February to get started on Son Steve's solar system but it's started
The $4.50 per watt rebate has already ended but he had it locked in until the end of April 2010 so
it's "get it done" time.
He's putting in the same system I did last summer but installing it different
He's installing it on the roof of his large garage, thank God that he has a forklift
