Sun Harvest (Sunrise to Sunset)

Yesterday, I assembled the array on the main eight-inch steel pipe for my pole-mounted solar photovoltaic system.  I mounted the microinverters and the trunk cables to the rails before lifting the rails into place.

Thanks to Bill, Mark, and Terry for helping lift the strongback into place in the early morning.  Thanks to Arnold (Donald) for helping me hoist the last six modules in place and for helping me waltz around the pipes with the scaffolding in the late afternoon.

You know what—while I am in “thanking” mode—thanks to all of my friends being all of my friends.  You are the best all of my friends I have ever had!

I am posting a photograph from sunrise and a photograph from just before sunset.  Both photographs are courtesy of my twice-as-smarter-than-me phone.

I would also like to add: solar PV systems are fun!
