On a very positive note

[TNNurse]

they are arriving this morning to start the installation of our solar panels. It is a free-standing array. This has been a plan for a long time and we are excited.

1. Good for you! How many kw is your system going to be?

[TNNurse]

2. I hope this is the right info

9.275 is listed as the system size.

3. More *power* to you

9. Ha, good one!

I concur.

4. Aren't you worried about the possibility of a toxic spill of sunshine?

A few days ago I was pleasantly surprised to see a bank of solar panels atop a nearby house in my community, a place not generally known for its environmental consciousness.

Congratulations on your sunny new setup!

5. We have been hot and very dry all summer, I think

the toxic spill has happened. I really thought we might get rain today and make them unable to work, but there is not a cloud in the sky.

6. It is a positive note indeed. And negative.

Probably waffling from one to the other sixty times a second.

It sounds great!

7. clever

may I borrow that?

8. Solar Power is DC

At least when it comes off the array. There is a unit called the "Inverter" that converts the DC to AC and synchronizes the phase, both needed to tie it into the home's power and the grid.
