Installation

We left off with the panels installed, but the electrical unfinished. We had a vacation scheduled so the electrical work was completed while we were gone. I do wish I had been there, but we were enjoying the beach in San Diego so I guess I'll live.

Like I mentioned, code requires externally mounted shutoff boxes (so firefighters don't get fried, understandable) so there a now a number of new electrical boxes on the side of the house:

The left box contains a 30 amp breaker, while the right box contains the Envoy-S monitor for the panels on the main house.

The roofline and way the two parts of the house connect required some fancy conduit routing so they could sneak up on the electrical panel and catch it off guard.

The garage was much simpler, since the connection to the main panel was already there and the electrical subpanel was readily accessible.

In all, I'm happy with the installation and I hope the energy output will justify the expense.
