Steps:
- The solar panel array is installed by securing four massive earth screws into the ground to act as a base.
- The solar panel array is then craned off of a truck into place on top of the earth screws.
- A trench is dug from the array to the house. Conduits are placed in the trench containing a hot, ground, neutral, and a Cat5 cable. The Cat5 cable allows the system to take in weather and location data.
- Once the array is secured to the base and wired up, the latitude and longitude of the area is programmed into the system and it can be powered up.
