So here you go, my son and I installed these Sharp 210 watt solar panels each has its own Emphase 240v micro inverter and they connect to the panel via the MC4 connectors, a piece of cake to do. They connect to each other in series creating a string of up to 14 panels in a string. At the end of the string you have two MC connectors which go into a junction box with a longer MC4 cable and from there to a service disconnect breaker. Then from the service disconnect breaker to main breaker panel and that’s it. I can watch my meter go backwards during the day, like clockwork (except when the wife is cooking or the water heater is on). We installed the panels in late October and have reduce the monthly electric consumption by half – not bad. Once I get those two turbines up, I should be close to near zero electric bil.

Solar Energy!

As soon as we found out, we immediately started getting in touch with local Charleston non-profit organizations to inform them about the opportunity. When St. Christopher responded about being interested, we setup a meeting for late September 2009 and went out to view the grounds and start planning. The RFP from the State was issued in early September. The government was looking at multiple factors before approving a non-profit like St. Christopher for the grant. These included visibility of project, potential job creation, overall benefit in terms of investment and payback of the project (they needed a minimum return of .50 dollars to spent). The grant writing process was long and hard, but St. Christopher didn’t have to worry about that. SES took care of making sure the grant was completed correctly and on time. Anything we were able to do to make the process easier for them, we …
